Earfinity © perfectly embodies the innovative concept behind our nebulous titanium jewelry. In a word, we have captured the essence of a range on which we have been working for more than a year: reversible piercings, allowing infinity of compositions. An innovation that we are particularly proud of!

The term "biocompatible" means the ability of a material to be tolerated by the human body without triggering adverse reactions. In other words, a biocompatible material can be in permanent contact with skin tissues without causing irritation or allergic reactions.

Nothing could be simpler! Earfinity © piercings © have an innovative Threadless mechanism to position the jewelry and its curved upper in the piercing bar. The curved stem exerts pressure on the walls of the bar in order to create adhesion. To close your piercing, simply place the jewelry inside the bar, and a slight grinding will confirm that everything is properly closed.

It is essential to choose an "implantable" material when making a piercing, which means that it must be designed to be implanted in whole or in part in the human body, and that it is intended to stay there after the intervention.

These materials are 6 in number, there are gold (from 14k), niobium, glass, platinum, stainless steel (in a certain grade), and finally titanium.

Titanium is the one that obtains the most advantages compared to other implantable materials. It is the cheapest, the most solid, the most resistant, resists corrosion better, it is lighter and above all: it is biocompatible. This means that it remains inert in contact with the skin. It is therefore with a lot of points ahead that the titanium arrives in first position of the materials to choose for a piercing.

Stainless steel and titanium are two materials often used for making jewelry, we explain the differences to you:
The chemical composition of these two materials is not the same: Stainless steel is mainly composed of iron, carbon and chrome, with possibly the addition of other elements such as nickel and molybdenum to improve its properties. THE titanium is a pure metal, generally combined with small percentages of other elements such as aluminum or vanadium.

Corrosion resistance : Stainless steel is renowned for its corrosion resistance, mainly thanks to its chrome content which forms a protective layer. However, in certain extremely corrosive environments, stainless steel can still corrode. The titanium is much more resistant even in extreme conditions.

Weight : Titanium is lighter than stainless steel. This does not really matter when making small jewelry because it is a tiny difference, but when it comes to medical equipment, the lightness of the equipment can be of great importance.

Resistance : Although stainless steel can be very resistant, titanium generally has better resistance it can offer resistance levels comparable or higher than those of stainless steel while being lighter. In conclusion, these two materials are really perfect materials for making jewelry with an advantage for titanium which is the purity of its composition and therefore a zero risk of allergic reaction or irritation of the skin.

THE titanium is the recommended material in the event of sensitive skin and in the event of allergic reactions frequent to earrings. It is also recommended throughout the healing period in order to maximize the chances of healing optimally without complications.

The titanium offers many advantages in terms of biocompatibility, it is hypoallergenic, very resistant to corrosion and can be carried continuously throughout the duration of healing, and even after.

Titanium jewelry is renowned for their resistance to corrosion and oxidation, which means that they tend to maintain their shiny appearance and their original color longer than many other metals. It is therefore very rare to see a jewel in titanium blackens.

No, it is impossible to use the old piercings on new labrets.

Indeed, the old jewelry of the titanium range are jewelry with internal screws (threaded) that must be screwed, while new jewelry are push-in mechanisms (threadless) that we slip into the bar.

We have changed the closing system; It is therefore for this reason that the old and the new range are not compatible and cannot be inserted.

Absolutely: this new range is completely compatible for a first piercing installation. Titanium ASTM-F136 is an implantable and biocompatible material; It is therefore perfectly suited. Make sure your pierceur sterilizes your jewelry before drilling.

Yes, the first installation jewel can be kept throughout the healing period and even after. Titanium is one of the materials best tolerated by the body, it is advisable to keep it after healing and there is therefore no obligation to change it.

There is not more risk of loss compared to a classic jewel. The curved upper is designed to create resistance in the piercing bar. In the event that you do not hear a slight creak when positioning your jewelry in the piercing bar, it is essential to manually bend the stem of your jewel using the tutorial present in the "curved rod" tab On the product page of each jewel.
