Sunglass chain out of PVC and Stainless Steel with zirconia. Width:4mm. Length:64cm.

PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) is a soft and elastic material (commonly referred to as ´plastic´). PVC´s main features are very high resistance, minimum weight and thermal conductivity. PVC is skin-friendly and allergies to it are rarely found. injuries resulting from wearing PVC jewels are very unlikely due to its softness and elasticity.

Stainless steel´s extremely shiny surface with almost no uneven traces is highly appreciated. Furthermore, it is a hard, scratch-resistant and stainless material. Stainless steel does not tarnish and allergies to it are very rare.

Glass is an amorph, i.e. not crystalline substance. Glass is usually produced by melting quartz sand and other materials. Objects seen in daily life and made out of glass (e.g. drinking vessels/glass and window glass, TV screens and light bulbs) are just a samples of the variety of glasses. Most of the famous glass jewelries of the world is made of Murano glass, which was first created in the Murano Island near Venice in the 13th century.

Zirconia (molecular formula: ZrO2, Zirconium dioxide) is synthetic substitute for diamond . Its hardness is almost as high as the one of diamond (8.5 as opposed to 10) which makes it resistable. However, it may scratch other material easily. Zirconia can be produced in different colours and levels of transparency. It is normally cut in faces (in the same way as glass).
