What is the best metal for piercings?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nThere\nare several metals that the jewelry can be made out of. However, when\nit comes to piercing jewelry you want to ensure you are getting the\nvery best material for your new piercing. When looking for the best\nmetal for earring piercing this is the same as for any other\npiercings as well. This means that if you are going to offer or think\nabout offering your customers body piercing jewelry or earrings you\nshould ensure that it is made of the very best metals. There are\nseveral options to choose from which are of surgical grade quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stainless Steel is one of those options. This metal does contain nickel, which is usually the metal that people have an allergy too and causes skin irritation. While nickel is still present in this metal, some people do get irritated by stainless steel. To know if your stainless steel is of a surgical grade you will be looking for 316L stainless steel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nOther\nmetals for piercings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Titanium<\/strong>\nis another metal that is commonly used in piercing jewelry. When you\nare looking for the best metal for piercings, this one is another\noption. Of course, the titanium must be of the surgical type as well.\nWhen they call it surgical, that means that it is okay to use it on\nthe body. The metal has gone through a treatment process so that the\nvarious alloys are encapsulated. As with stainless steel, Titanium\nbody jewelry<\/a>\ncan be bent into the various designs rather easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nNiobium<\/strong>\nis another metal for piercings. This is a softer metal that doesn’t\nreact to cleaning agents, bodily fluids and oxygen which make this a\ngreat metal option as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nGold<\/strong>\n(That’s nickel free.) is a great option as well.  Gold is a\ngreat one of the best materials for piercings.  However, it is\none of the more expensive options as well. That is why we offer our\nstainless steel in gold tone as an option as well.  This gives\nyou the look of gold without the high costs. Gold can come in both\ngold and silver tones. However, for body jewelry, you will want to\nensure the material doesn’t include nickel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Platinum<\/strong> is the most expensive but makes amazing body jewelry.  This is the best metal for piercings but it is not very affordable.  It is also the very best for daily wear. If you like to wear your jewelry long term without removing it then platinum is the way to.  Platinum requires less maintenance than the other materials and is very hard, similar to stainless steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\nprefer 316L Stainless Steel <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here\nat Salamander jewelry, we like to use 316L Stainless steel for most\nof our body jewelry designs. It is one of the most inexpensive\nmaterials for body jewelry piercings and earrings but yet effective.\nThis material can be worn by most people, including those with a\nnickel allergy with ease. 316L stainless steel is very easy to clean\nand keep clean. We often refer to 316L stainless steel as “Surgical\nSteel”.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surgical\nsteel is probably the most commonly used in manufacturing piercings.\nWe work closely with our metal vendors to ensure our metals are safe\nto use in our body jewelry designs. Should\nyou have any questions regarding our body jewelry product line,\nask!<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
