Body Jewellery Ins and Outs (pardon the pun)
Body Jewellery Materials
Plated Body Jewellery
Our gold plated belly rings are either 100% surgical steel or 100% solid titanium, and then treated (heat blasted) with gold PVD plating for a shiny, sophisticated finish. Gold plated belly jewellery is NOT suited to everyone, it should be avoided for new piercings and people with metal allergies. It is not intended for everyday wear as the plating can fade/tarnish with frequent exposure to water. See below for more information about PVD use in body jewellery.
Acrylic Body Jewellery
So cheap, so bright and so much fun!! However, they are plastic and they won't last forever. Stock up on a variety of colours to mix and match with, but keep in mind that acrylic belly rings will only be suitable for short timeframes. Priced between $1-$5 they are an affordable way to build up your belly jewellery collection with bright varieties and super cute styles.
PTFE Flex
Bendy, flexy, comfy !! These navel rings feature a 14g flexible post comprised of medical grade PTFE. They are the perfect choice for expecting mothers, allowing a compassionate fit that moves with you without the tight restrictions of steel and hard metals. PTFE is also perfect for those undergoing surgeries and/or x-rays due to the composition.
Hypoallergenic
Sensitive skin? Take the guesswork out with our collection featuring a mix of metals, all 100% nickel free so that you can shop with assurance. This collection is fully waterproof, won't fade or wear down with body oils and is your one stop shop for trusted navel jewellery.
PVD versus Anodising
PVD Plating
PVD plating is the preferred finish for body jewellery (rather than anodising) as it creates a durable, anti-corrosive, scratch resistant surface for a variety of metals, including stainless steel and titanium. Anodising is still suitable for body jewellery, however, with anodising, the jewellery is dipped in the plating finish rather than heat blasted and this tends to fade faster than PVD.
PVD produces a wide range of colours and finishes, including matte, shiny, and brushed in shades of gold, rose gold, black, rainbow, greens, blues, pinks, purples and many more.
