JEWELRY STORE

Eldi Jewelry is an online piercing jewelry store, with biocompatible materials and quality guarantee.

PIERCING MATERIALS: GOLD, TITANIUM, STEEL, OR PYREX

The material used to make a piercing not only enhances its aesthetic beauty but also determines its practical use and technical properties.

Surgical grade stainless steel

This is the most widely used material in body jewelry due to its malleability, ease of production, and low cost. However, it’s not hypoallergenic as it contains nickel, which can cause allergic reactions.

Due to our commitment to your health, ELDI Jewelry does not sell jewelry made from steel.

Titanium

Titanium is the most biocompatible material available on the market.

It is extremely lightweight (40% lighter than steel), hard, and resistant to corrosion. It does not deteriorate in saltwater or pool water.

Titanium’s biocompatibility is superior to steel, and there are no known allergies reported in medical literature to date. It is the ideal material for body jewelry and is recommended for initial piercings.

ELDI distributes only titanium from brands certified by ASTM (F-136 and F-67), ensuring a safety standard for our customers.

Gold

Throughout history, gold has been associated with royalty and the power of the sun. It has been used to create various ornaments and even substitutes for dental pieces due to its biocompatibility. Today, it is preferred for fine accessories, often adorned with semi-precious and precious gemstones.

ELDI proudly offers certified 14-karat pure gold products, free from zinc alloys, making them hypoallergenic.

Brass

Brass has a color similar to gold but is easier to manipulate for fine jewelry and more affordable. Technically an alloy of copper and tin, it was initially used in goldsmithing and jewelry. Acceptance or rejection of this jewelry depends on its components.

ELDI only offers brass made from bronze, free from cadmium, lead, and nickel.

Glass, Borosilicate/pyrex

This material is a type of glass made from a combination of boron and silicon. It has a coefficient of expansion that makes it challenging to work with but provides smoothness, resistance to thermal changes, and better shock absorption than common glass.
