Wood Fake-Plug out of Surgical Steel 316L with Mahogany. Bar length:5mm. Cross-section:1,2mm. Width:10mm. With threaded coupling.

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.

Mahogany wood is extremely valuable and very popular. One of the reasons for the high value is the fact that the tree grows very slowly, and the beautifully grained and reddish wood is under protection. The beautiful and noble wood is particularly rare, as it may only be purchased under specific conditions. Besides its beauty, mahogany has other valuable properties: The wood is durable, resistant and hard. Therefore, perfectly suited for the jewelry industry.
