Titanium Vs 14k Gold Piercing

All our Solid 14K & 18K Gold jewelry is certified Nickel-free, suitable for clients with sensitivity. Our Titanium is ASTM F136 ELI ‘Implant Grade’ Titanium, the most biocompatible metal also used in hip replacements and bone screws.

Along with our nickel-free solid Gold selections, we also carry a wide range of certified implant grade Titanium jewelry, so which material is “better”? Solid Gold and Titanium both have their pros and cons…

IS

Gold is ranked in a “Karat” system representing the purity of Gold. Each Karat is 1/24… that would mean 24K is pure gold. So 18K would be 18 parts gold to 6 parts of filler alloy, and 14K is 14 parts gold to 10 parts filler. Please keep in mind that Gold by nature is very soft and to create wearability, mixing Gold with another metal is common practice in jewelry making. The key is to avoid companies that cheaply mixes with nickel! Pure 24K Gold is so soft, you can easily scratch with just a fingernail, it is too soft to wear as body jewelry, so 18K and 14K nickel-free Gold is safe to use as piercing jewelry.

Gold Plated Titanium Barbell

Titanium is a very durable and lightweight metal with many uses from cars to building materials, watches, electronics etc. The classification we focus on for piercing is ASTM F136 ELI “Implant Grade” Titanium, the same level used in the medical world such as pacemakers, bone screws, hip replacements to ensure “biocompatibility”, meaning we want to use most inert material to promote the body into accepting this jewelry as part of our body, and grow a tunnel of “fistula” around the piercing.

Using jewelry that is not biocompatible can result in problematic piercings that “never heal”, and at worse, can reject or migrate the piercing entirely.

While we can understand this mentality, we don’t agree that “Gold is better than Titanium” because both materials we carry are equally safe and suitable for fresh and healed piercings – the only difference honestly is personal and budget preference!!

To properly understand the concept of New Piercings, it is essential to consider the healing time required for different types of ear piercings.

What Material To Choose [gold / Titanium Astm F136]

The healing period for an earlobe piercing typically ranges from 2 to 4 months. On the other hand, cartilage piercings, such as Helix, Tragus, Rook, Conch, and Forward Helix piercings, generally take longer to heal, with an approximate healing time of 6 to 12 months. Daith piercings, specifically, may require 9 to 12 months to fully heal.

When it comes to selecting the best material for new piercings, Titanium always stands out as the optimal choice. It is particularly suitable for those with sensitive skin and is available at an affordable price point. utilizes medical-grade Titanium implants, ensuring that you can confidently use them for both healing and fully healed piercings without worrying about allergic reactions or tarnishing.

-

The second-best material option would be 14K Solid Gold, taking affordability into consideration. For initial piercings, it is crucial to ensure that the gold used is 14K or higher, free from nickel and cadmium, and alloyed for biocompatibility. However, it's worth noting that gold higher than 18K is not recommended for body jewelry, as it is relatively soft and prone to scratching or nicking. Therefore, 's 14K Solid Gold collection is the perfect choice for initial piercings, provided it fits within your budget.

Choosing The Perfect Material For New Ear Piercings: Titanium Vs 14k S

While earrings made of sterling silver with gold plating or gold-filled may appear appealing, they are not ideal for initial piercings. The interaction between the unhealed blood and sterling silver, due to wear, can lead to tarnishing.

It is important to note that the healing process can vary depending on individual factors and adherence to aftercare practices. Remember not to change or remove your jewelry until your piercing has fully healed. If you have any questions or concerns, it is advisable to consult with your piercer for guidance.
