1. PRODUCTS

What are your products made of?

All our jewelry is made of solid, hypoallergenic 925 sterling silver (92.5% silver and 7.5% copper alloy). Like all high-quality silver jewelry, they come with a  palladium/rhodium plating to prevent tarnishing. Some products come with a luxurious vermeil 24k gold coat. Vermeil coating is at least five times thicker than regular plating and won't fade or tarnish. All products are nickel-free and lead-free.

Is Sterling Silver good for belly button piercings?

Unlike pieces that are made of inexpensive steel alloys that may contain nickel, brass or other base metals, sterling silver jewelry doesn’t contain metal additions that can cause allergic reaction. People who are sensitive to metals such as nickel or brass can wear sterling silver jewelry. 

What are the cons of Sterling Silver piercings?

Sterling Silver can tarnish over time. Our jewelry comes with a fine rhodium plating, which reduces the risk of tarnishing to a minimum. If one avoids contact with chemicals (such as disinfectants different from alcohol), and controls regularly for tarnishing, the comfort of wearing Sterling Silver is higher than most other metals. For more information, see the Care Guide.

Does Sterling Silver cure infected piercings?

No! If your piercing feels warm to the touch, is very swollen, and is bleeding or producing any kind of fluid, you should see your piercer or a doctor.

Can I switch to Sterling Silver right after I’ve gotten a new piercing to accelerate the healing?

Consult your piercer beforehand to make sure it is safe to change the jewelry. In any case, make sure you don’t use saline solution. Saline solution might cause tarnishing.

Are there any precautions I must take?

Before changing your jewelry, please wash your hands with warm water and soap. Make sure you are in a clean place. Also, see the Care Guide.

Can you make me a customized piercing?

In case you have something special in mind, please contact us.

How do I find my right size?

All our products come in different sizes; You can read more about how to find your size under Measure Guide.

How do I change my piercing?

Wash your hands with warm water and make sure you are in a clean place before opening the clear pouch in which your new jewelry comes.
After inserting your new piece of jewelry, check whether all balls (or prongs) are tightly screwed on. While wearing the piece, make sure that the ball is not unscrewing itself by checking from time to time.

My silver jewelry has tarnished, what now?

One of the main drawbacks to silver jewelry is its tendency to tarnish. This is caused by slight impurities in the silver which can react with air.

As all high-end silver jewelry, our pieces come with a fine plating of rhodium that decreases significantly the probability of tarnishing. Make sure that your piercing doesn’t come into contact with disinfectants other than alcohol. It is also better to avoid swimming pools, hot springs, and seawater.
Should you realize that the piercing changes color, take it out and polish it with the silver cleaning pad that comes with your order.

My gold plated jewelry has been discolored, what now?

To restore shine to gold vermeil pieces, gently clean them with soapy water and dry with a soft cloth; Don't use polishing pads. Avoid humidity, chemicals, perfumes and lotions and don’t wear the jewelry while working out, swimming and showering. An increased physical acidity can make the golden layer let loose. Avoid scratching on your gold-plated jewelry as much as possible as these scratches are the main cause of discoloration.
