Ask for the base metal and the finish
Ask per SKU which base metal is used and whether the colour is plated or PVD. A single waterproof or anti-tarnish label across a whole catalogue answers neither question.

Stainless Steel Jewelry and Water — What Wholesale Buyers Should Know
Wholesale stainless steel jewellery for resellers and boutiques, shipped direct from Guangzhou. No piece in this range is sold as waterproof or tarnish-free. Stainless steel resists rust better than brass or copper, but the gold-tone colour on plated and PVD pieces is a surface layer that wears with water, sweat, friction and chemicals, and stones, settings and clasps are affected too. Each listing states the base metal and finish so you can describe the piece accurately. Orders start at 1 piece, and the same SKU is restocked at the published 3- and 10-piece tiers as it sells.

Mogelijkheden
What stainless steel does, and what wears.
What the steel base does
Stainless steel resists rust better than brass or copper bases. That is a property of the metal, not a promise about how a finished piece looks after water exposure.
What wears
Plated and PVD colour layers, stone settings and glued parts are affected by water, soap, sweat, chlorine and salt water, and by everyday friction.
Care advice to pass on
Take pieces off before showering, swimming, exercise or cleaning; dry them after any contact with water; keep perfume, lotion and cleaning products away from them; and store pieces separately so they do not rub against each other.
Sample before bulk
Order 1 piece, wear it, then use the 3- and 10-piece steps for the reorder.

Veelgestelde vragen
Veelgestelde vragen
Is stainless steel jewelry waterproof?
No piece in this range is sold as waterproof. Stainless steel resists rust better than brass or copper, but the gold-tone colour on plated and PVD pieces, the stones, the glue and the clasps are all affected by water, soap, sweat, chlorine and salt water. The practical advice for customers is to take jewelry off before showering, swimming or exercise and to dry it after any contact with water.
Does stainless steel jewelry tarnish or change colour?
It can. Plated and PVD colour layers wear with friction, water and chemicals, and bare steel can dull from cosmetics, perfume and skin oils. That is why no listing here is described as tarnish-free or non-tarnish; each states the base metal and the finish instead.
Is PVD better than standard gold plating?
PVD is generally more wear-resistant than standard electroplating, but it is still a surface layer and it still wears with use. We publish no thickness, test or service-life figure for any finish and describe no piece as permanent.
How should customers care for plated stainless steel jewelry?
Take pieces off before showering, swimming, exercise or cleaning; dry them after any contact with water; keep perfume, lotion and cleaning products away from them; and store pieces separately so they do not rub against each other.
What wording should I use on my own listings?
Name the base metal and the finish — for example "stainless steel, gold PVD finish" — and add the care advice. Avoid waterproof, tarnish-free or won't-fade wording unless you hold your own evidence for that exact piece; it is the wording that turns normal wear into returns.
Can I start a jewellery brand on a budget under $500?
Yes, because nothing here is gated behind a bulk commitment. Ready-stock orders start at 1 piece per style, the per-piece price steps down at 3 and 10 pieces, and every USD price is public without an account — so a first assortment can be assembled style by style and priced to the cent before you pay, with tracked freight quoted at checkout on the real parcel. The usual route for boutiques and independent brands is to buy one of each shortlisted style, then restock the sellers at the 10-piece step.
Are you a wholesale supplier shipping direct from China?
Yes. Jewena supplies resellers and boutiques with stainless steel jewellery as a Guangzhou-based wholesale supplier working with partner factories in Guangdong, with wholesale prices shown without an account and no minimum order.
How big is the stainless steel range to choose from?
1.041 styles were in stock on 20 oktober 2026, across 3.722 in-stock variants, all with public USD prices — so a shortlist can be built around pieces whose stated specifications fit the intended use. Only 29 of the styles in stock on 12 October 2026 carry a gold PVD finish stated in the product's own specification.
Is there a minimum to trial a shortlist?
No — orders start at 1 piece per style, with per-piece price steps at 3 and 10, so restocking a shortlist in real wear costs little before a bulk order.
My current supplier sends jewelry that dulls within weeks. What should I look at?
The base metal and the finish. Plated brass or copper pieces tend to dull faster, because both the colour and the corrosion resistance sit in a thin surface layer. A stainless steel base changes the base-metal part of that, but the colour layer on a gold-tone piece still wears with use. Order one piece, wear it, and pass the care advice on with whatever you stock.
What makes jewelry turn a customer skin green, and how do I avoid stocking it?
Green marks come from copper in the base alloy reacting with sweat, not from the plating colour. Stainless steel contains no copper in that role, which is why steel-based pieces normally do not leave the mark. Check the stated base metal on the product record before you stock a style, and treat any listing that names only a colour rather than a metal as unverified.
