Materials
Surgical Steel
Surgical grade stainless steel is the most common metal used for body jewelry and piercing. Suitable for initial and healed piercings. While surgical steel is typically not recommended for those with nickel allergies, the surgical steel in our pieces is NICKEL FREE.
Titanium
A common metal used for implants. Nickle free and highly resistant to corrosion, titanium is less likely to cause infections. Lightweight and ideal for larger sizes, it can be anodized into several different colours, and is ideal for both initial and healed piercings.
Bioplast
Bioplast conforms to worldwide standards for body jewelry use. Biocompatible and medical grade plastic, bioplast is a hypoallergenic flexible plastic that speeds up the healing process faster than any other material. Great for those with metal allergies.
UV Acrylic
An inexpensive and lightweight material, UV Acrylic is not suitable for initial piercings or unhealed, stretched ears. Do not soak in alcohol. May be cleaned with mild soap and water.
925 Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is safe to use once piercings are healed, and should never be worn in unhealed piercings. Not suitable for long-term wear as it can tarnish easily. Always look for the ‘925’ stamp. Not recommended for those with nickel allergies. Wash with mild soap and water.
Gold Plated (PVD)
PVD (physical vapor deposition) is a process in which a base metal such as titanium or steel is coated. Real 24K solid gold is applied into surgical steel in a heated chamber under a high vacuum. An electric voltage is applied, and forms a plasma in the chamber and the introduction of various gases produces an ion bombardment. It then atomizes the 24K gold into tiny substances which are deposited into the jewelry. The result is a hardened layer which is biocompatible and can be autoclaved.
Rose Gold Plated (PVD)
Real rose gold alloys are applied onto surgical steel in a heated chamber under a high vacuum. An electric voltage is applied, and forms a plasma in the chamber and the introduction of various gases produces an ion bombardment. It then atomizes the 24K gold into tiny substances which are deposited into the jewelry.
Solid Gold
14K is best for body jewelry as it is strong enough to maintain the threads on a piece. Do not clean with alcohol or harsh chemicals.
Brass
Brass is used to achieve a vintage, tribal look with gold like appearance. It is not suitable for initial piercings, and contains no nickel or lead content. Not recommended on genital piercings. Should only be worn for short duration in well healed piercings. Wash with mild soap and warm water.
Pyrex Glass (Borosilicate)
Glass jewelry is tempered, medical-grade, non-porous and lead-free. Glass jewelry is non-toxic and bio-compatible, and should not be used for new piercings, or during stretching. Wash with warm water and soap.
Kaos Silicone
A biocompatible, medical implant grade silicone, Kaos Silicone is extremely flexible, light and comfortable. Pieces made from Kaos Silicone should be washed only with soap and water, and used in completely healed piercings. Kaos Silicone does not smell or build up, and is not microporous. Kaos Software should never be used for stretching.
Wood
Wood jewelry is a natural, porous material that comes in a variety of types and colours. Each product is carefully sanded, polished and treated by hand. Wood jewelry should only be worn in healed piercings. Recommended to be removed before baths, showering, swimming and other water activities, and lightly oiled weekly to keep in good condition in order to avoid cracking. Do not store in extreme sunlight or hot temperatures.
Water Buffalo Horn
Water Buffalo Horn is shiny and black in colour. Water Buffalo Horn is humanely captured. Do not submerge pieces in water for long periods of time, and remove pieces before baths, showers, swimming and water activities. Do not store in extreme sunlight or hot temperatures.
Water Buffalo Bone
Water Buffalo Bone is shiny and white in colour. Water Buffalo Bone is humanely extracted from already deceased animals. Products should not be submerged in water for long periods of time, and is recommended to be removed before baths, showering, swimming and water activities. Not recommended for new or unhealed piercings, and should only be worn for short periods of time. Do not store in extreme sunlight or hot temperatures. Lightly oil with coconut oil or jojoba oil weekly to avoid cracking. Clean with mild antibacterial soap and water.
Natural & Synthetic Stone
Rock and semi-precious stone jewelry is heavy and comes in smaller sizes. Rock or stone can break if dropped. Not recommended for new or unhealed piercings, and is only suitable to be worn for short periods of time. Must be cleaned with mild, antibacterial soap and water.
Anodized
Anodized jewelry is surgical steel with is dipped and coated with titanium. It goes through an electrochemical process that covers the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion resistant metal that won’t chip or fade.
PVD – Physical Vapor Deposition
PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a process in which a coating is applied into surgical steel in a heated chamber under a high vacuum. Electric voltage applied with form plasma in the chamber and the introduction of various gases produced an ion bombardment that atomizes the material into tiny substances, which are then deposited onto the jewelry. This results in a hardened layer which is biocompatible and can be autoclaved.
Enamel Resin
Smooth, hard, durable and chemically resistant, enamel resin is easy to clean and scratch resistant. It holds long lasting colour, and will not fade with UV light.
Epoxy Coating
A tough, protective coating that keeps gems shiny and prevents them from falling out.
Swarovski Gems
Made exclusively in Austria, zirconia stones are cut and polished to perfection. Zirconia stones have all the characteristics of a diamond, including exceptional cut and sheer brilliance.
Synthetic Opal Gems
Synthetic opal gems are artificially made from polymer impregnated opals which are 70-90% silica and 10-30% resin. They have similar properties to a natural opal with a distinctive snakeskin pattern. Synthetic gems show brighter colours than their natural counterparts.
