Gold

Gold body jewelry covers two different things, and the difference matters for a healing piercing. Gold-tone titanium gets its colour from an anodised oxide layer or a PVD finish applied over implant-grade titanium. Solid gold is gold all the way through, with no coating involved.

This collection brings together everything we carry in a gold finish: nose studs and hoops, flat back labret studs, hinged hoops, septum clickers, threadless tops and barbells.

Both are safe to wear. Anodised titanium adds no second material — the colour comes from the metal's own surface — so it behaves exactly like plain titanium against your skin. PVD is a bonded coating, durable and long-wearing, but it is still a layer over the base metal, so what sits underneath is what matters. Ours is over implant-grade titanium.

What we do not carry is gold plating over brass or unnamed alloys. That is where gold jewelry goes wrong — once thin plating wears through, the base metal underneath is usually the reason a piercing starts reacting.
