Our jewelry for use in new piercings meets
ASTM and/or FDA designations for surgical implant grade materials. Documentation
of independent lab biocompatibility testing is available to assure you that your jewelry is safe for prolonged wear in the human body.
The majority of jewelry on the body piercing market does not adhere to implant standards, leaving you to guess whether your shiny stuff is toxic to wear in your body. Tolerance to a material (no signs of adverse allergic reactions) can be misleading.
An example of this is the fact that most gold regardless of alloy, is not scientifically proven as an implant
material.
The standards for
costume and fine jewelry do not address the necessary chemistry for safe wear
inside the body. Most of what is know only applies to superficial skin reactions. |
