What To Look For In A Good Piece Of Piercing Jewelery
You may be wondering what to look for in a good piece of piercing jewellery. Here are some factors to consider. Are you looking for a piece of jewellery made of biological organic materials, surgical stainless steel, or metal? These are all important considerations for choosing piercing jewellery. However, they shouldn't be the only considerations. There are several other factors as well, including price. Keep reading to find out more.
Metals
When it comes to selecting the right jewellery, there are a few things to consider. Although all types of metal are acceptable for piercings, there are certain materials that are better for piercings than others. For example, stainless steel contains nickel, but it is not toxic to those without nickel allergies. In fact, 316LVM Surgical Stainless Steel is commonly used in body pins, total joint prosthetics, and bone fixation screws. Because this metal is higher in standard than other grades, it is a good choice for body jewellery.
Biological organic materials
Biological organic materials are very common in body piercing jewellery. These materials have been used in many cultures throughout history. They are biocompatible, light in weight, and allow the body to breathe. They also have the advantage of being less cold than other materials, but can dry out and crack over time. As with any jewelry, you should clean it properly after every use, to avoid transferring bacteria to the skin.
Wooden piercing retainers
In addition to being a popular choice among piercing enthusiasts, wooden piercing retainers can serve other purposes as well. While wood is not sterilizable, it doesn't show and can be worn for a long time. Because of this, wood isn't ideal for initial piercings or stretches that haven't healed. In addition, some types of wood are irritants to the skin or may cause allergic reactions.
Hardwood is the best choice for piercing jewelry because it doesn't swell or absorb much moisture, making it perfect for everyday use.
Surgical stainless steel
Surgical stainless steel piercing jewellery offers many advantages, from easy cleaning and affordable prices to longevity and durability. They are also ideal for navel bars, which can be susceptible to rubbing and can result in discolouration. Many people like to change their piercing jewellery regularly and surgical steel rings and earrings offer a variety of options to choose from. Here are some benefits of surgical steel:
Niobium
The silver color is common for niobium seam rings, and they are biocompatible, making them the ideal material for piercings. Seam rings are popular for nose, cartilage, and ear piercings. Because of their high polish, they are easy to open and close. They are available in several diameters and gauges. Listed below are some tips for proper care of your Niobium piercing jewelry.
Aztec gold
Gold was associated with the gods and as such, was used to decorate people's bodies. Aztec gold piercing jewellery was popular among the upper class. In fact, the Aztecs adorned themselves with gold piercings in order to achieve their social status. These piercings were usually adorned with nose plugs. The nose plugs were made of gold, which had a special meaning to them.
