HOW TO CARE FOR THIS PIECE
IMPORTANT FOR THIS PIECE
This design contains brass. Keep it dry and away from sweat, perfume and other chemicals. Remove before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Brass jewellery is best suited to fully healed piercings and occasional wear.
Keep it clean
Wipe jewellery gently with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and residue.
Avoid chemicals
Keep perfume, hairspray, lotions and household cleaning products away from your jewellery where possible.
Keep it dry
Dry jewellery thoroughly after exposure to moisture. If the piece contains brass, keep it dry at all times.
Store carefully
Store clean jewellery separately in a dry place to help protect the finish and reduce scratches.
ABOUT THE MATERIALS IN THIS PIECE
316L Surgical Steel
Strong & durable
Best for
Healed piercings
Care
Easy care
316L surgical steel is a durable choice for healed piercings. Surgical steel contains nickel, so titanium may be a better option if you have a known nickel sensitivity.
Brass
Detailed decorative designs
Best for
Fully healed
Care
Keep dry
Brass allows for intricate, decorative designs but requires more care. Keep it away from water, sweat, perfume and other chemicals, and use it only in fully healed piercings.
Mixed-material jewellery
When a piece contains more than one material, follow the care guidance for its most delicate component. Because this design includes brass, keep the whole piece dry and use it only in fully healed piercings.
A note about healing piercings
Material is only one part of choosing jewellery for a healing piercing. Gauge, length, threading, design and surface finish must also suit your anatomy. If your piercing is still healing, speak to a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.

I am absolutely delighted with my purchase from Cherry Diva! The price was fantastic and the quality is even better than I expected. Everything looks beautiful and feels really good quality. I was so happy with my order that I've just ordered another pair of belly button rings! I would definitely recommend and will be shopping here again. ❤️
