theres someone on Dfoggknives that makes damascus jewlery, and he lines it with a small insert of silver, because aparently some people react to the steel overtime.

Stainless like 304 and D2 for starting, later move to 400 series and 300 series, then more esoretic for a hypoalergenic pattern welded material's should suit your needs.

Definately have silver on the skin side, I would coat the damascus with several coats of a good high grade auto wax. Since I started to coat my carbon steel knives with car wax they dont rust on me like they used to. Not sure how long it would last in a jewelry scenario though. Probably better off getting stainless damascus if you can, or mokume gane (Non ferrous damascus). Goodluck Chris |
