316LVM surgical steel and metal alloy Austrian crystal Claw-set External rook, daith, snug, tragus, anti-tragus, helix, forward helix, conch, eyebrow, bridge, vertical labret, vertical lip, vertical philtrum, navel, and more! Where can you wear the PREMIUM Crystal Cross Curved Barbell 16g? Almost everywhere - curved barbells are one of THE most versatile styles of jewelry we carry. This curved barbell is worn in surface piercings to get the look of studs. Perks of a curved barbell is that they move less through the piercing and catch on fewer things than hoops do. This is why curved or straight barbells are preferred to captive bead rings and circular barbells for fresh piercings. This grade of steel is hypoallergenic because its low carbon vacuum melted. This process sucks the nickel out of the metal. Nickel is one of the most common causes of metal allergies. Please note: this process does not remove all nickel. As a result, a very small amount of people react to 316LVM surgical steel. If this is you, we recommend our jewelry. The colour tone options are PVD titanium over 316LVM steel. PVD is more durable and therefore lasts longer than traditional plating. However, the plating may irritate allergies. Blackline is a titanium carbide physical vapour deposition over steel. This option is completely hypoallergenic. Austrian crystals are our favourite because, with proper care and regular cleaning, they'll never lose their sparkle. It is externally threaded. This means the post screws into the bead. This piece is a favourite for almost any piercing. Here are a few examples: rook, daith, snug, tragus, anti-tragus, helix, forward helix, conch, eyebrow, bridge, vertical labret, vertical lip, vertical philtrum, navel, and so many more than we can list!
