How Do Materials Affect the Quality of Stainless Steel Jewelry Display Cabinet
201 and 304 are the most commonly used stainless steel materials in the design of jewelry store counters. High-end jewelry brands such as Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany & Co, Chopard, Van Cleef & Arpels, Graff, David Yurman and Buccellati, mostly use 304 stainless steel in the selection of stainless steel display case for jewelry.
Because 201 is easy to rust and has a lower resistance to corrosion and higher hardness, while type 304 is more resistant and has a good toughness. Apparently, the price of showcase for jewelry made of 304 stainless steel with such merits is higher than that of 201 stainless steel, about 30% price difference.
so the choice of stainless steel material depends on customers’ budget. If you have a higher budget, 304 stainless steel might be better for you and it can save your time, energy and maintenance cost.
However, since some bad manufacturers use 201 stainless steel to replace 304 stainless steel, and they are not easy to be recognized from the surface after electroplating or water plating unless you use the testing liquid. So it’s quite important to find a responsible supplier. Shangyuan Display has 15 years experience in manufacturing stainless steel display cases for jewelry and has plenty of nice reviews from many different countries’ customers.
2. Stainless steel’s thickness
The thickness of the stainless steel used by our company in the production of stainless steel jewelry showcases is generally the stainless steel with 1.5mm thickness marked on the market (the actual thickness is 1.3mm thick). If the customer has special requirements, we will also produce it according to the customer's requirements, such as using 2.0mm (the actual thickness) stainless steel.
In terms of the quality of the slide rails, its thickness is one of the crucial point. If the slide rail is thin, it can withstand less gravity and be simple to be damaged. For the drawers of stainless steel showcase for jewellery, the lifespan of thin slide rails will inevitably break over time due to their small load-bearing capacity.
A good slide rail will have no loud noise and will be smooth when you pull the drawer. Therefore, we recommend that customers should strictly choose the hardware accessories of the jewelry showcase.
Definitely, there are still some other factors that will influence the quality of stainless steel display cabinet, such as stainless steel welding, polishing, seaming, electroplating and the like.
