All of the jewelry we carry meets the ASTM medical implant-grade standards. ASTM is the Association for the Standardizing and Testing of Materials. We can provide a materials certification, including the ASTM numbers assigned to each of the following metals:
We pride ourselves on providing only the best materials for our clients. All of our jewelry comes from companies that are known for their quality products, including Industrial Strength, Neometal, Body Vision, Anatometal, and others. All of our barbells are internally threaded and have a mirror polish finish to them. Also, all of our seam rings are fully annealed and have a mirror polish finish.
We carry internally threaded jewelry for the safety and quality of your piercings. Threads are present on all body jewelry that has a removable end piece that screws off. The threads look a lot like the threads on a screw. With internally threaded jewelry, the threads are on the removable end piece. The barbell shaft is smooth and passes through the pierced area easily.
With externally threaded jewelry, the threads are on the barbell shaft which means the threaded end passes through the piercing every time the jewelry is inserted or removed. This is undesirable for two reasons; the threads not only can cause irritation of the piercings, but the threads also provide nooks for bacteria to reside in, which comes into contact with raw flesh.
When comparing jewelry prices, you will notice that internally threaded jewelry costs more than externally threaded jewelry. This is due to the fact that internally threaded jewelry is more difficult and costly to manufacture. As recommended by the Oakland County Health Department and the Michigan Department of Community Health, we use all internally threaded jewelry to help prevent microscopic tears caused by the exposed threads.
If you are looking for products made from organic materials, we also carry a large variety of jewelry made from water buffalo horn, bloodwood, ebony, and bone from companies such as Diablo Organics, Tawapa. We also provide a wide selection of stone jewelry such as amethyst, opalite, quartz, tigers eye, amazonite, and many more!
If you can’t quite find the exact piece of jewelry that you are looking for, you can come in and place a custom order. You can choose from hundreds of jewelry pieces from numerous jewelry suppliers.
