Guidance on our materials, caring for your jewellery, and getting the best from every piece.
Our Materials
Implantium™ is crafted from ASTM F-136 titanium, selected for its biocompatibility and suitability for sensitive skin.
PureTone™ is our waterproof, gold-plated stainless steel range, designed for everyday fashion wear.
We hold current mill certification for our titanium and carry out ongoing material testing.
Skin, Fit & Individual Suitability
Skin is individual, and how any piece of jewellery wears depends on a range of factors beyond the material itself, including:
- Individual skin sensitivity
- Aftercare and cleaning routine
- The stage of healing of a piercing
- The style, fit and placement of a piece for a particular anatomy
Because these factors vary from person to person, individual experiences with any jewellery will differ. If a piece does not suit you, we recommend discontinuing wear and consulting a qualified piercer for advice specific to your piercing.
Our Implantium™ range is made from implant-grade titanium, and many people find it helps their piercings settle and feel more comfortable. This is not a guarantee: we do not claim that our jewellery will heal a piercing, and we make no claim that switching to our pieces will prevent all irritation or issues. We simply offer a material that many of our customers find works well for them.
