Do not expose Damascus Steel to harsh chemicals, chlorine or salt water.
Ion plated Tungsten in rose, yellow, white, black, blue or brown is more difficult to scratch than traditional gold and silver. Plating can be damaged through contact with an abrasive surface or substance, chemicals, and hard surfaces (metal, wood, tile, etc). Plating can also be damaged by frequent exposure to hard water, or repeated contact with moderately hard surfaces.
