Why I'm Obsessed with 304 Stainless Steel (And You Should Be Too)

Why I'm Obsessed with 304 Stainless Steel (And You Should Be Too)

Let's talk about the 'G' word. No, not 'glamour'—Green.

We've all been there: you buy a beautiful piece of jewellery, wear it three times, and suddenly your skin is green and the 'gold' has vanished into a sad, coppery brown.

When I was studying Jewellery Design in New Delhi, I became obsessed with finding a material that could handle the 'Patricia Life'—the baking, the parenting, the running around Milton Keynes—without losing its shine.

Enter 304 stainless steel. It's the unsung hero of the jewellery world. It's hypoallergenic (no itchy ears here!), it's incredibly strong, and most importantly, it's tarnish-resistant. It doesn't need to be polished every five minutes. It keeps its glister while you're living your life.

I use it because I want your Iris By Hazel pieces to be like your best friendships: low maintenance but high value.

With Easter Sunday just around the corner, there's something poetic about choosing materials that don't fade or tarnish. Renewal isn't just about fresh starts—it's about investing in things that last beyond the season. Whether you're dressing up for Easter lunch or just want something beautiful that won't let you down, 304 stainless steel is the quiet promise that your jewellery will still look brilliant long after the chocolate eggs are gone.

Quality that endures. Just like the moments that matter.
