Looking individual or unique is the reason many people choose to have body piercing jewelry. This is why there are so many different body piercing accessories available.

It is hardwearing and doesn’t oxidise, tarnish or discolour, and is not affected by bodily fluids. It will not cause allergic reactions and won’t blacken in piercings. This is why platinum makes the ideal handmade body Jewelrymaterial for any type of piercing, be it nose, ear, eyebrow, belly button or elsewhere. It is also beautiful and will not lose its shine easily. Silver is considered by many as a safe material for body piercing accessories. It is not.
