The Hidden Strength Behind Beholder Jewelry: 316L Stainless Steel Pins

Why Does Beholder Jewelry Use 316L Stainless Steel for Pins?

At Beholder Jewelry, we prioritize durability and precision in our threadless ends. To create the strongest bond between the setting and the pin, we use 316L stainless steel.

Stronger Than Gold Pins – Gold is soft and can bend over time, while 316L offers superior strength.
Better Bond Than Titanium Pins – Unlike titanium, which requires tack welding, 316L can be soldered or fused to gold and platinum, ensuring a more secure and lasting connection.


What’s the Difference Between 316L and Other Stainless Steels?

316L stainless steel is a trusted material in body jewelry, offering excellent quality and performance. Here’s why:

  • Low Carbon Content: The “L” indicates low carbon, which increases resistance to corrosion and makes it safer for long-term wear.

  • Biocompatibility: Its composition ensures it meets medical and jewelry standards, making it suitable for implants and piercings.

  • Corrosion Resistance: 316L resists rust, tarnish, and everyday wear—even in harsh environments.

  • Strength and Durability: It provides a stable and long-lasting option for precision jewelry pieces.

For safe and reliable body jewelry, 316L stainless steel is a proven choice, ensuring strength, biocompatibility, and long-lasting quality.
