Materials used in this piece
Base metal: TITANIUM F-136
Good to know: This piece contains titanium, our preferred metal for customers with sensitive skin or concerns about nickel sensitivity.
Choosing the right metal can make a big difference to the comfort, care and longevity of your piercing jewellery. Here's how our three main jewellery metals compare.
TITANIUM — BEST FOR SENSITIVE SKIN • USED IN THIS PIECE
Skin sensitivity: Excellent choice for sensitive skin
Best for: Fresh* or healed piercings
Everyday wear: Excellent
Care: Low maintenance
Titanium is lightweight, durable and highly resistant to corrosion. It's our recommended choice if you have sensitive skin or are concerned about nickel sensitivity.
316L SURGICAL STEEL — DURABLE EVERYDAY CHOICE
Skin sensitivity: Suitable for many people
Best for: Healed piercings
Everyday wear: Very good
Care: Easy care
316L Surgical Steel is strong, durable and resistant to everyday wear, making it a popular choice for body jewellery. Surgical steel contains nickel, so if you have a known nickel sensitivity or particularly sensitive skin, we recommend choosing titanium instead.
BRASS — STATEMENT JEWELLERY
Skin sensitivity: Not recommended for sensitive skin
Best for: Fully healed piercings
Everyday wear: Occasional wear
Care: Keep dry
Brass allows us to create more detailed and decorative jewellery designs, but it requires more care than titanium or surgical steel. Jewellery containing brass should only be worn in fully healed piercings. Keep it dry and remove before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
A note about fresh piercings
The metal is only one part of choosing jewellery for a fresh piercing. The jewellery's gauge, length, design, threading and surface finish also need to be appropriate for your piercing and anatomy.
If your piercing is still healing, we recommend checking with a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.
Mixed-material jewellery
If a piece contains more than one metal, always follow the care and wear guidance for the most sensitive material. For example, jewellery with a 316L Surgical Steel bar and a brass charm should be treated as brass jewellery and kept dry.
