Matters used in the creation of body jewellery
316L Steel (surgical steel): Most commonly used matter for body jewellery. Only available in its raw colour, silvery.
SILVER : Silver is not hypoallergenic and oxidizes quickly, it is therefore not theb best metal for barbells and rings. However, it can be safely used for designs and accessories (navel jewellery, ear jewellery).
TITANIUM : Titanium is very well tolerated by our body, being nickel free. Titanium is made of 90%titanium, 6%aluminium and 4% vanadium. Titanium is good for people suffering from an allergy to nickel. Very light matter, allows for better healing. Titanium body jewellery can adapt to any area of the body pierced, and is available in many different shapes and colours.
ACRYLIC : Acrylic is a plastic matter well tolerated by our body. It is available in a wide range of colours and can be made to react to "black lights", in clubs for example.
NIOBIUM : Silvery metal, not as light as titanium. Expensive matter as not easily found on the market.
BLACK LINE : Black dye coated titanium
GOLD : There are two types of gold:: white gold, and yellow gold. Noble matter, dedicated to luxury body jewellery.
PTFE : Also called Teflon. Flexible plastic matter, well tolerated by our body, it is often used by pregnant women, as you can cut its size to the desired length, by people with allergies, and sometimes of course to be able to keep a body piercing discreet.
BIOPLAST : Plastic matter causing no allergy. A Bioplast rod can be cut to the desired length, and accompanied by a titanium ball at the end, for example. Bioplast is best : for body piercings around the mouth, for people with allergies, but also to try and keep one's piercing discreet.
HORN, BONE, WOOD, AMBER : Organic matters used by the ancient ethnic tribes.
