What types of jewelry for a conch piercing:

For an internal conch piercing it will be necessary to opt for a straight bar piercing (labret) with screwable accessory. The advantage with the labret is that you will not need to wait to “change” it after your new conch piercing, indeed it will be enough to change the screwable accessory, as for the length of the bar, It will be suitable when your piercing has sufficiently deflated. It will be necessary to count 2 to 3 months otherwise before you can put a ring to your piercing.

What material for a conch piercing:

  • Titane: If you are looking for a quality piercing jewel at a lower cost, titanium is what you need. The titanium in its ASTM-F136 grade is implantable is therefore used as a installation jewel, for healing without complications. This material has the advantage of being lighter than steel but also more durable. The other strong point is that it does not contain nickel, to avoid allergies unlike its colleague, so -called "surgical" steel.
  • Gold: A noble and elegant metal, if you like what shines and want to keep your jewelry forever, gold will accompany you for a very long time (if not your life) provided you take care of it. For your piercing, whether in conch or elsewhere, you will have to orient yourself towards a minimum 14 -carat gold jewelry and 18 carat 18 carats. The 9 carat gold contains nickel and is not considered implantable, 24 carat gold, when it comes, is too flexible to make it a jewel of piercing.
  • Steel: Today very popular, so -called "surgical" steel is an inexpensive but less qualitative alternative. Indeed, this steel contains a high rate of nickel, 10% of which are allergic. In addition, this metal is heavier and less resistant than its colleagues previously mentioned. This is only considered implantable in its grade ASTM-F138 or ISO 5832-1.
