Yes Byron Mechano did tend to rust once the paint was scratched, and no one would want rust stains on their swimwear.
The D rings you refer to would be cheap mild steel dipped in silver paint, as the paint scratches and chips they tend to look tatty. I would prefer stainless steel metal fitting, maybe not so bright at first but would retain their looks.
Real gold or silver fittings on your swimwear might look bling but could weigh you down.
Bronze or brass fittings might react with seawater and go green.
