MATERIALS
316L Surgical Stainless Steel
We use only the highest quality of materials for our customers. 316L is an excellent choice due to its low risk of allergic reaction and strong resistance to water and tarnish. Our stainless steel is nickle-free, implant grade, safe for piercings, and our top-grade rose and gold plating prevents any silver underlay from emerging.

💝 How Piercing Jewelry is Measured
Measurements follow standard piercer sizing. Use the guide below and compare with jewelry you already own to find your best fit.
• Straight Barbell Length → Measure the wearable length between the end pieces
• Hoop Diameter → Measure straight across the inside of the hoop
• Curved Barbell Length → Measure end to end, following the curve
✨ Between sizes? Sizing up slightly usually offers the most comfortable fit.
