Material Certifications
Implant-Grade Titanium (Ti6Al-4V-ELI) – Quality Certification
Implant-Grade Titanium (Ti6Al-4V-ELI), certified under ASTM F-136, is one of the most widely used materials in the medical and professional piercing industry due to its outstanding biocompatibility, strength, and lightness.
This material is 100% nickel-free, complying with the EU Nickel Directive (in force since 2001), making it the ideal choice for initial piercings and customers with sensitive skin. Its ultra-smooth surface reduces bacterial buildup, minimizing the risk of infections and promoting fast and safe healing.
Implant-Grade Titanium is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, being significantly lighter than other metals used in body jewelry, without compromising its durability or mechanical resistance. This combination makes it the perfect material for high-quality piercings, ensuring maximum comfort for the wearer and reliability for professional use.
To guarantee optimal hygiene and safety, this material is fully autoclavable, meeting the highest industry standards in professional piercing studios and ensuring a safe experience for clients.
Surgical Steel 316L – Quality Certification
This certificate guarantees the quality of Surgical Steel 316L, a material widely used in professional body jewelry due to its corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and durability.
SS316L is a low-carbon surgical-grade steel, reducing the likelihood of irritation or adverse skin reactions. When polished to a mirror finish, it develops a passive chromium oxide layer, which minimizes nickel release, providing greater safety for healing piercings.
It is an ideal material for both initial and long-term piercings, as its smooth surface prevents bacterial buildup and facilitates disinfection. Additionally, Surgical Steel 316L is fully autoclavable, maintaining its integrity while meeting the strict hygiene and safety standards required in professional piercing studios.
Sterling Silver 925 – Quality Certification
Sterling Silver 925, also known as sterling silver, is one of the most sought-after materials in the jewelry industry due to its exceptional shine, durability, and skin compatibility. It is composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper, enhancing its strength without compromising its appearance or quality.
This material is hypoallergenic, making it suitable for clients with sensitive skin and an excellent choice for healed piercings. Additionally, Sterling Silver 925 is nickel-free, complying with the EU Nickel Directive, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
To improve tarnish and corrosion resistance, many sterling silver pieces are rhodium-plated or treated with an anti-tarnish coating, ensuring greater durability and long-lasting shine.
Its malleability allows for intricate and sophisticated designs, making it an essential material in jewelry. Moreover, Sterling Silver 925 is autoclavable, ensuring hygiene and adaptability for professional use in piercing studios.
Thanks to its quality, safety, and aesthetics, Sterling Silver 925 remains one of the most in-demand materials in wholesale jewelry, offering elegant and durable pieces for any collection.
