Why Stainless Steel Is the Perfect Choice for Modern Viking Jewelry
Why Stainless Steel Is the Perfect Choice for Modern Viking Jewelry
Viking jewelry stands for strength, durability, and clear forms. At World of Vikings, we consciously translate these values into the present. That is why we use high quality stainless steel for a large part of our jewelry, specifically 304 stainless steel.
Not because it is the easiest path, but because it is the most sensible one.
Stainless Steel Made for Everyday Life
Our jewelry is not meant to be a display piece. It is designed to be worn. Every day.
Stainless steel offers exactly the right properties for this purpose:
- high resistance to wear
- very good corrosion resistance
- keeps its shape even with daily wear
- resistant to moisture, sweat, and normal ambient air
This makes stainless steel ideal for people who do not want to constantly remove their jewelry.
What Does 304 Stainless Steel Mean?
304 stainless steel belongs to the so called 300 series and is known for its high durability and reliability.
This material composition ensures that the steel:
- remains durable over time
- stays stable in its form
- effectively protects against rust and oxidation
304 stainless steel has been used for many years in technical, industrial, and lifestyle applications, wherever everyday usability and long term durability are required.
Tested and Suitable for the European Market
The stainless steel materials we use have been successfully sold for many years in Scandinavia and across Europe.
For these materials, test reports in line with relevant REACH requirements are available, specifically prepared for the European fashion jewelry market. These tests verify legally defined limit values that are relevant for sale within the EU.
For jewelry made from identical material without additional coatings or further components, a test report created according to particularly strict requirements can often serve as a reference for multiple product types.
This means for you:
clear standards, tested materials, and a solid foundation for everyday use.
Stainless Steel in Everyday Life, What You Should Know
Stainless steel jewelry is robust, but it is not a disposable product. With a little care, it will remain beautiful for a long time.
For everyday use:
- water and sweat are generally unproblematic
- showering or washing hands usually does not harm the jewelry
- salt, chlorine, and aggressive chemicals can affect surfaces over time
Our recommendation:
After sports, contact with salt water, for example seawater, or pool water, briefly rinse the jewelry with clear water and wipe it dry.
For cleaning, mild soapy water and a soft cloth are sufficient.
Why Stainless Steel Fits World of Vikings
Stainless steel is not a historical material in the classical sense. And that is exactly part of our concept.
World of Vikings does not stand for museum replicas, but for modern, wearable jewelry with Nordic symbolism. Stainless steel combines clean lines, technical precision, and a timeless look with the raw symbolic power of the Nordic world.
The result is jewelry that:
- looks powerful without being overloaded
- is modern without losing its roots
- works just as well in everyday life as it does at a market stand
Our Commitment
We do not choose materials based on trends, but on purpose.
Stainless steel fits our philosophy:
durable, honest, and suitable for everyday life.
Topics such as skin compatibility, sensitivities, and material composition are deliberately addressed transparently and in a differentiated way in separate articles. This allows us to explain each topic where it makes sense, and not where it could cause unnecessary uncertainty.
