ONLY THE SAFEST

Jewellery Materials

What you put in a piercing is one of the most important factors when it comes to successful healing and the long term health of the piercing.
We only use the safest materials that have been meticulously crafted into the finest body jewellery.

ASTM f136 compliant Titanium

This is our "go to" titanium alloy. This is the same material used in medical and dental implants and is specifically made to go inside the body due to it's excellent biocompatibily and strength.
Chemically this is a mix of Titanium, Aluminimum & Vanadium (Ti6Al4V ELI).
It's important to remember not all titanium jewellery is equal. Make sure you're getting the best for your body.

Solid 14k & 18k Gold

Gold is an excellent material for body piercings. Offering a combination of safety and elegance that can be missing with titanium option.
However, it's important that all gold body jewellery is solid gold in either 14k or 18k. Lower karat gold contains too many other materials which can lead to complications. With plated or vermeil jewellery this plating wears over time leading to the inner core material coming into contact with the tissue and again leading to complications.
We ONLY use solid 14k and 18k gold which has been alloyed to be free from nickel and cadmium ensuring all our gold is safe to wear in your piercings for life.

Niobium

Niobium is another material used in safe body piercings. Commonly used for captive bead rings and seam rings but also some ends, circular barbells and barbells.
Niobium is a commerically pure material and one of the most biocompatible metals on the planet.

MIRROR POLISHED

Surface Finish

Not only is the material important but the surface finish of the piece is integral to the viability of the piercing.

Body jewellery should be polished to a mirror finish. This removes imperfections in the piece which can lead to irritation within the piercing channel and fluid build up.

All our jewellery has been made to the highest standard by some of the finest manufactures on the planet to ensure you are only getting the best, safest pieces possible.

You can see in the image the top piece of jewellery has a dull finish throughout the piece but an especially rough finish within the gem setting, whereas the lower piece is perfectly finished to a smooth, mirror polish.
