i'm looking into buying a stainless steel ring for somebody as a gift.i'm on a budget (heh) and the ring is about $50.will it rust or tarnish? it'd be embarrassing if i gave it to someone, and it begins rusting :Pthanks
Stainless Steel does not rust...that is why it is used in our kitchens and the top kitchens of the world...!! sorry...Stainless Steel does not Tarnish either!
Stainless steel is a generic term for a huge variety of different alloys. In manufacturing, each steel has different numbers, etc that they go by. Some steel sold as being stainless actually is not. It rusts, like the cheap kitchen knives you see that are left in the sink too long. However, the stainless in jewelry is pretty legit. Overpriced, but legit. It will not tarnish, but it won't stay shiny forever. It might get a little less glossy over time. When it does get re-polished, it takes a long time to do it. But it will not turn black or rust. Good luck.
