Jewelry
Medical Grade
Titanium Implant Grade
Titanium jewelry is a popular choice for professional piercers worldwide, especially APP (Association of Professional Piercers) USA, UK, AUS piercers.
Due to the natural properties of titanium, it is suitable to be in the body or is a material that the body resists the least, such as being used to make dental implants or devices that are implanted into the body when broken. Therefore, it is suitable for initial drilling. Titanium is a lightweight metal, does not weigh down the wound and does not cause allergies. It is also safe to wear during medical procedures such as MRI, depending on the doctor's discretion.
*** Titanium Implant Grand jewelry or earrings from the PiercingRoom by Jay brand are imported from a factory that has passed the inspection from the leading institute SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Service (mineral properties testing institute).
Pure Gold
Solid Gold
Jewelry made from gold. Gold is a precious metal that will not react, oxidize or change color easily. Therefore, it is suitable for the first piercing and must go through a nickel-free manufacturing process. The purity is between 14k-18k. Gold over 18k is too soft and may easily accumulate germs. Below 14k is not suitable for the first piercing because the purity of the gold is too low and may cause the body to reject it, which may cause irritation or inflammation.
*** Jewelry or earrings made from gold from the PiercingRoom by Jay brand are manufactured according to export standards, are free from nickel, which causes allergies, and have been inspected by the Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand (GIT).
Silver
Sterling Silver 925
Jewelry made from 92.5% pure silver is not suitable for initial piercing or wounds that have not yet healed because the softness of silver can easily accumulate germs and liquids can cause the silver to change color and leave dark marks in the wound. Pure silver is therefore suitable only for wounds that have already healed, but you must ensure that it is free of nickel, which causes allergies.

Medical Device Grade
316L Surgical Stainless Steel
Jewelry or earrings made from 316L Surgical Stainless Steel is another material suitable for initial piercing because it is the same grade of material as medical equipment. 316L will not rust and is strong and durable. Germs cannot accumulate on this material. Since there are many grades of Stainless Steel, if it is not 316L, such as 316, 304, it will have less corrosion resistance and should not be used for initial piercing. However, 316L can be worn during medical procedures such as MRI, depending on the doctor's discretion.
