Hip Hop Jewelry Retailer Launches New Line of 316L Stainless Steel Chains

Hip hop superstore Hiphopbling.com has recently released a line of men’s chains unlike any other in the industry. Unlike their expensive white gold or platinum counterparts, these magnificent necklaces are created from solid 316L stainless steel. This incredible metal offers consumers all the benefits of a high-end chain and then some, at prices that are near costume jewelry levels. Hip hop bling features a very large selection with different sizes and finishes to meet the needs of different tastes across the board.

For decades now, the affordable alternative to high priced white gold or platinum chains was sterling silver. 925 sterling silver is a beautiful metal when it is in brand new condition. Unfortunately after just a little wear, the surface easily scratches. Tarnish builds up naturally over time, even when unworn. It is almost impossible to keep a sterling silver item looking new and shiny throughout its life. To make matters worse, silver prices has gone up along with gold. Of course, the other alternative is fashion jewelry, which looks decent, however the finish will eventually wear off and the softer base metal does not allow for the same details as solid white gold or platinum.

316L stainless steel is the same high quality metal used in fine Swiss watches including Omega and Cartier. This metal is strong, and has a brilliant dark luster comparable to platinum. To the average consumer, a high polished and nicely finished piece of jewelry in stainless steel is virtually identical to a platinum version. The stronger metal allows for more detailed edges and intricate designs, thus making a chain look and also feel like it’s high-end counterpart. The metal is denser, and is therefore heavier feeling than a piece of costume jewelry. Stainless steel chains are the absolute best alternative to white gold or platinum versions.

“I’ve never felt anything like this. I’ve owned silver chains and plated chains, and only got to try on a real white gold chain at a jewelry store. My new stainless chain is the highest quality I’ve owned. It’s got that heavy, significant feel like an expensive chain. The shine looks better than silver. This should be the new standard for guy’s chains.” –Wayne, customer.

Hip hop bling carries a full selection of master crafted 316L stainless steel chains, in a variety of hip hop inspired styles. Prices are extremely affordable, costing only a bit more than costume jewelry and significantly less than platinum, white gold, or even sterling silver.
