316L Surgical Steel is a durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel commonly used in body jewellery.

Why choose surgical steel?
✓ Strong and durable
✓ Corrosion resistant
✓ Great for healed piercings

316L Surgical Steel contains nickel amongst other alloying elements. While it is suitable for many people, those with a known nickel allergy or sensitivity may prefer Implant Grade Titanium.

PVD Coating

Some jewellery features a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating to achieve different colours.

The underlying jewellery remains 316L Surgical Stainless Steel. PVD is highly durable; however, like any surface coating, it may gradually wear over time depending on use and care.
