The material guide

Surgical steel, not gold plating.

Every NOVS piece is 316L stainless steel — no exceptions. Not gold paint over brass. Not a coin flip. Steel, chosen on purpose.

Why stainless steel

Because it doesn't quit on you. It shrugs off water, sweat, sunscreen, and the shower you always forget to take it off for. No polishing rituals, no green fingers, no jewelry box crying for help.

The grades, compared

Not all stainless steel is equal.

304

304 stainless steel

The common one

The stainless steel most cheaper jewelry is made of. Fine day to day, but less resistant to salt water and sweat over time.

316

316 stainless steel

Better with salt

Adds molybdenum, which makes it far more resistant to salt water, chlorine and sweat than 304.

What NOVS is made of

Everything 316 has, with less carbon — the most corrosion-resistant of the three, and the grade used for surgical instruments and body jewelry. Every NOVS piece.

The price tag won't tell you what's underneath.

Some jewelry costs €80, €100, even more, and it's still just gold paint over cheap base metal. Six months in, it's flaking. We think that's a scam.

Check the material. Check what's under the plating. Check what you're actually paying for.

316L steel. Honest prices.
That's NOVS.
