316L is the highest grade of stainless steel used in the jewelry industry. It is so good at resisting fade, rust, and corrosion, that it is also used in architecture as well as in marine environments. At the same time, it is safe to use for medical purposes inside the body.
For this reason, the surgical stainless steel earrings we carry are made with this same grade of steel. It will not fade, change color, or leave stains on your body. It doesn't require any maintenance to keep it looking new. It is considered Hypoallergenic and lead free. It does contain a very small amount of nickel. However, its low carbon content creates a bond with the nickel so tight that it is not released to the skin. Therefore, most people with nickel allergies will not be effected. Another layer of protection is the chromium finish which gives the stainless steel its mirror-like shine.
