Bellypiercing out of Surgical Steel 316L with PVD-coating (gold color) and Swarovski crystal. Thread:1,6mm. Bar length:10mm. Closure ball:5mm. Weight:1,94g.

Surgical steel 316L, originally used in medical implants (e.g. artificial joints), has now become the most important material for piercings. It is characterized by its extremely shiny surface with practically no uneven traces. Surgical steel is also very scratch-resistant.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 be worn without any trouble once the piercing hole is healed because Nickel cannot be absorbed by the body anymore. Allergies to surgical steel 316L are rare.

Swarovski is an Austrian company which was founded in 1895 and which has achieved a high degree of brand awareness ever since. The machine-grounded Swarovski glass crystals are high-quality processed. Thanks to their noble and diamond-like look, they are particularly appreciated in the jewelry production.
