Why Anti-Tarnish Jewellery?
Your jewellery should shine as bright on day 500 as it did on day 1. That is why Anisan uses 316L stainless steel with 18K gold plating - a combination that never tarnishes, never fades, and never turns your skin green.
What is 316L Stainless Steel?
316L is medical-grade stainless steel, the same material used in surgical implants. It is chosen because it never rusts, never tarnishes, and is hypoallergenic. Unlike brass, copper, or fashion jewellery that fades in weeks, 316L keeps its shine for years.
