Jewelry Overview
We strive to offer a diverse range of jewelry to suit every taste and budget. We offer high quality 316L surgical steel for our standard piercings and for a slight upcharge you can get pierced with ASTM-F136 implant grade titanium, and even some gold options. No matter your style, from simple to sophisticated, we have something for you.
We do our best to stay on top of upcoming trends and jewelry styles. Constantly on the search for new jewelry styles and variants. We have partnered with some of the most innovative companies in the industry to bring awesome new styles to our studio.
“Do you sell ‘real’ jewelry? I can’t wear fake stuff.”
Most people do not have an allergy or sensitivity to ASTM-F136 implant-grade titanium. This nickel-free metal is used for surgical implants such as knee and hip replacements. It is specifically engineered for biocompatibility. We also sell some other nickel-free options in Gold and 24KT Gold PVD plated titantium.
"I only wear gold."
We have an ever-growing and evolving selection of 14k solid Gold and 24k Gold-plated toppers that we can pierce with. These pieces use implant-grade titanium posts that are, in almost all cases, not visible to the casual viewer. The use of titanium posts vs Gold posts gives us the ability to provide a safe piercing that keeps the cost lower.
"Can I get pierced with gold plated jewelry?"
Yes and no. It depends on what piercing and what type of jewelry you're starting with. No part of the gold plate should be inside the piercing channel. Simply, we can't pierce with a gold-plated ring or barbell. Only posts and barbells that are titanium with Gold-plated ends are acceptable starters. Even though the PVD Gold plating style we stock is extremely durable, it is possible for the plating to dislodge and become a serious problem for your piercing.
“Are those really expensive?”
Given the labor involved with the refinement of titanium, and gold, they do have a bit of a higher price tag. We work to keep our prices as reasonable as we can and take steps to keep the end users and their budgets in mind. Gold is one area where there will always be more difficulty in balancing quality and overall cost. We have found several Gold vendors that are producing high-quality jewelry at a reasonable rate. With the cost of Gold fluctuating and increasing pretty consistently over the last several years, we have tried to absorb as much of the fluctuation as we can to save you money.
“Can I get pierced with a hoop?”
In most cases, no. Rings tend to move around a lot and promote both scar tissue and infection. A bigger footprint allows for more friction and an increased risk of snagging and bumping. There are some piercings, such as the daith, that accommodate a ring very well. Your best chance at healing a new piercing well is by starting with a post, downsizing in a month if appropriate, and once the piercing is well healed and stable enough for a ring, you can have it changed out.
