Surgical-grade alloy
316 is a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel grade commonly considered for skin-contact jewellery. A measured nickel-release result still requires a test covering the named sample, SKU or batch.
Studs, hoops and drops for buyers building a sensitive-skin range. Check each product page for the actual 316 material, post composition and finish; no catalogue-wide EN 1811 test status is implied. No minimum — samples from one piece, with per-piece pricing that steps down at 3 and 10.

316 stainless steel contains nickel and is commonly selected for skin-contact jewellery because of its corrosion resistance. That material choice is not a medical guarantee or a substitute for a named-SKU nickel-release test; individual sensitivity varies.
316 is a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel grade commonly considered for skin-contact jewellery. A measured nickel-release result still requires a test covering the named sample, SKU or batch.
Nickel release cannot be inferred from an alloy name alone. If EN 1811 evidence is required, its availability and applicability must be confirmed for the named SKU or batch.
PVD is available on selected earrings, but it is not a medical or nickel-release guarantee. Check the named SKU and any required evidence before ordering.
Posts and findings are the parts that touch skin most directly. Confirm their composition in the named SKU specifications or sample; do not infer it from the body material alone.
Material, post composition and finish vary by style and are stated on the product page. Start from the full earrings range or go straight to a format.
Choose a sample, stocked-wholesale or OEM route after the named SKU, tier rules and written quote have been reviewed.

MOQ & pricing3
Apply the same 316 build to your own designs, packaging and logo. Custom development is quoted against a written brief.
Custom & OEMNo site-wide test or certification is implied. Confirm the material and finish of the named SKU, and state any required market evidence before sampling so availability and third-party testing scope can be checked in writing.
316 steel
Use the named product page and approved sample to confirm the body, post and finding materials for that SKU.
EN 1811 reference
EN 1811 is a European nickel-release test method for articles in prolonged skin contact. A result applies only to the named sample, SKU or batch covered by its report.
REACH requirement
EU REACH restrictions are buyer and market requirements, not a blanket catalogue certification. Required evidence must be agreed for the named SKU before sampling.
PVD finish
PVD is available on selected SKUs. The product page and approved sample state whether it applies to the ordered finish.
Water guidance
Water exposure guidance depends on the named material and finish; follow the product specification and care guidance for the ordered SKU.
Material and finish specifications are confirmed per named SKU. Test reports or regulatory documents are not promised site-wide; any requirement must be verified in writing before sampling and order.
Many buyers choose 316 stainless steel for sensitive-skin ranges, but material and finish must be checked on the named product page. Individual sensitivity varies, and Jewena does not make a medical claim or imply catalogue-wide nickel-release testing.
316 stainless steel contains nickel, so "nickel-free" must not be read as zero nickel. Only a report covering the named sample, SKU or batch can establish a measured nickel-release result; individual sensitivity still varies.
Samples start from one piece so you can test the finish, and there is no minimum order — the per-piece price steps down at 3 and 10 pieces per style. See the MOQ page for tier detail.
Not as a blanket catalogue promise. Material and finish specifications can be confirmed for a named SKU. If EN 1811 testing or REACH-related evidence is mandatory, state it before sampling; availability and third-party scope must be confirmed in writing before order.
