316LVM surgical steel Austrian crystal Channel-set N/A Lobes, daith, helix, forward helix, tragus, septum, and more! The PREMIUM Hexagon Crytal Segment Ring 16g is made with 316LVM surgical steel! Steel gets its colour through Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). In other words, vapour deposits onto the metal. As a result, the titanium looks like gold, rose gold, or black. However, gold and rose gold PVD may irritate metal allergies. Hinged segment rings are seamless rings without the work of trying to click a loose segment in. If you're new to body jewelry, that's how the regular segment rings work. Imagine a , but instead of a bead, it's a little curved bar. This just clicks open, slides through the piercing and then clicks closed again. It's that easy! 316LVM surgical steel is hypoallergenic because its low carbon vacuum melted. This process sucks out a nickel, which is one of the most common causes of metal allergies. Please note: this process cannot remove all the nickel and a small number of people have reactions to 316LVM surgical steel. The stones are Austrian crystal. These are our favourite stones for body jewelry because they never lose their sparkle. Is yours looking a bit dull? A quick clean brings them back to life. The stones are channel-set to keep them securely in place. Show us where you wear yours with #BodyModsFamous on Instagram. We LOVE seeing our jewelry in the real world.
