Materials
These little balls made out artificially are referred to as ´Synthetic Pearls´ for their shiny colours. Their main features are: resistance, light weight and warmth conduction capabilities as well as very good skin tolerance. In fact, allergic reactions to them are extremely rare.
Titanium G23 is 100% nickel-free and perfectly suited to allergic people. This material is primarily used for medical implants in the EU and Switzerland, being exclusively used in bone screw surgery and artificial joints, among others. Other positive features: light weight (just ca. 50% of surgery steel) and minimum warmth conduction capabilities (hence more comfortable to wear in hot or cold days). Titanium is suitable for first-time piercing wearing.
Should you order a piercing article to be worn for the first time, we strongly recommend that this gets sterilised by means of an autoclave in a professional piercing studio beforehand.
Gold (Au) is both a chemical element and a precious material.
Gold is a very popular material for jewellery making, not only because of its warm shine but also because its surface does not tarnish.
In jewellery making gold alloys are usually preferred, since gold on its own is too soft a material. When being melted down with other substances, it becomes harder and therefore more suitable for making jewels.
24K gold (999 weight for mile gold) is thus rarely employed as raw material for jewellery. A harder alloy with 750 is preferred. According to the colour that is desired either copper and/or silver or platinum will be added. In such case the jewel is of 18K gold.
The Zirconia (formula: ZrO2, Zirconiumdioxide) is synthetic replacement for the diamond. Its sharpness is almost as high (8.5 as opposed to 10), which also makes it hardly endangered against damages. However, it may be used to scratch to pieces something else very easily.
The zirconia can be obtained in different colours and levels of transparency. It is normally cut in faces (in the same way as glass).
Glass is an amorph, i.e. not crystalline substance. Glass is usually shaped through melting. The materials seen in daily life as made out of glass (e.g. drinking and window glass, TV screens and light bulbs) are just a section of glasses.
Murano glass, which was first created in the Murano Island near Venice in the 13th century, remains the most renowned glass in the world for glass jewellery.
Surgical steel 316L, originally employed mainly in medical implants (e.g. artificial joints), has now become the most important material for piercings. Its extremely shiny surface with practically no uneven traces captivates everyone. Surgical steel is also very mar-resistant, and there are very few people allergic to it. Surgical steel is cheaper than titanium because it can be processed more easily, hence offering a wider array of motives as well.
However, it is not advisable to use surgical steel for first-time piercings, since its nickel component as part of the alloy may become active when in contact with the sore salt of a newly pierced skin (we recommend to use Titanium G23 or Bioplast instead). Surgical steel can then be used without any trouble once the piercing is totally healed, since it will not give away any nickel. Allergies to it are extremely rare.
Also known as ´Sterling Silver´, Silver 925 contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Pure silver is not used in jewellery making, as it would then be too soft. Regarding piercings, Silver 925 is employed just for the piercing components that are not introduced in the body (e.g. the motive pending of the lower ball of some tummy piercings).
Silver has a seductive look with its warm colour-temperature and has been used in jewellery making since ancient times. Pure silver is also the best light reflector and is therefore utilised for mirror production.
The disadvantage of silver has to do with the fact that it can react to air sulphur (depending on air quality and skin type).
This will be commonly known as ´tarnishing´ or ´oxidation´, although it has nothing to do with an oxygen reaction but with sulphur.
The best way to remove those dark spots is to put the jewel in a boiling water pan with a little salt, covered with (non-transparent) aluminium foil. We also recommend the stain remover ´Sigolin´.
Bioplast is a biocompatible material, that is, the human body tolerates it wonderfully. Since it is totally hypoallergenic, it is particularly suited for people wearing a piercing for the first time. Should you purchase one of our first-time use piercing products, we recommend that you let have it sterilised by a professional piercing studio expert.
Wearing bioplast helps the healing process. In fact, the material flexibility guarantees an ideal adhesion to the pierced area. Bioplast tummy piercings are also fine during pregnancy. Moreover, piercing sticks can be cut down at one´s discretion, which is completely unthinkable with metallic materials.
Transparent bioplast sticks are also very much valued, since they avoid piercing hole lengthening, are hardly visible and thus discrete.
