Organics

Organic piercing jewelry is made of natural materials, such as horn, bone, wood or stone. Our horn and bone piercing jewelry is made of Indonesian water buffalos. The water buffalo is a domesticated animal that is mostly seen in South Asia, where water buffalos are used to maintain the farm lands and for milk production. After the passing of the animal, their hide, horn and bone is often repurposed for all kinds of materials, including piercing jewelry. Wood is a beautiful, natural material that is perfect for plugs and tunnels. Wood is light, comfortable and can be carved into amazing shapes. Our wooden piercing jewelry features a smooth, satiny finish that makes them easier to clean and incredibly comfortable to wear. Stone is an amazing material for creating piercing jewelry, it offers wonderful colors and details that are truly unique to stone. Each plug or tunnel is completely unique and may vary slightly. Stone contains small inclusions and small cracks and dents. Don't worry, that doesn't mean your beautiful jewelry is damaged, it's all part of the natural charm stone has to offer. These small cracks or dents are usually no problem for regular and comfortable wear. Bone, wood or horn jewelry is very light and comfortable to wear and can be carved into incredible shapes and details. The color of all organic jewelry may vary per piece of jewelry, ranging from light to dark hues, sometimes slightly striped. Organic jewelry is porous, meaning that the material may feel very smooth and dense but still feautures small holes that are called 'pores'. When your jewelry is properly maintained and regularly oiled, it will stay pretty and comfortable to wear for a very long time. Make sure you don't submerge your jewelry in water or store it in a moist environment, because this will damage the jewelry over time. Due to the porous character of the material, all organic jewelry is only suitable for well healed piercings.

Brass

Brass is a wonderful material that is used for making a lot of handmade, vintage jewelry styles. Brass is easy to shape and form and not as expensive as precious metals, such as silver or gold. Perfect for creating unique jewelry with intricate shapes! There are lots of brass jewelry styles available, such as ear weights, hanging styles, plugs, rings and more. Brass is an alloy made of zinc and copper. After some time, brass will develop a natural patina, giving it its unique, vintage look. You can polish your jewelry to remove the patina, or leave it as it is. We usually do recommend some polishing over time, to keep your jewelry in prine condition. The copper that is used in brass can form a green tinted layer. If you wear brass jewelry regularly and for longer periods of time, please be aware that this green layer can stain your skin. For this reason, we recommond you wear brass jewelry for short periods of time or wear them through a tunnel or (silicone) eyelet.
