The earring holding panel on this Jewelry Stand is made from high quality Solid Stainless Steel. Many other companies try to simulate the luster and beauty of Solid Stainless Steel by painting over the regular steel on their Jewelry Stands. Some manufacturers even try to use a plating process to coat cheaper metals in order to give the appearance of stainless steel. All though these kind of options are cheaper, nothing compares to the lasting quality and radiant glow of genuine Solid Stainless Steel. We feel that your valued treasures deserve to organize and display on this gorgeous material. Another reason we use Solid Stainless Steel in our Jewelry Stand is for the inherent health benefits. We are all too familiar with that greenish discoloration that can occur when the body oils on your jewelry comes in contact with a Jewelry Stand made with cheap metals, but our choice to use Solid Stainless Steel helps to eliminate this possibility. We know your lovely earring collection is dear to you, so don't  settle for lesser quality metals that try to look like the real thing when you can display your treasures on this stylish and beautiful Jewelry Stand.
