14K Yellow Gold Body Jewelry

Unless you have an unusual sensitivity or allergy to metals 14K gold is fine for you to wear. 14K gold holds its shape better and stays polished longer because it is harder. 18K gold is more hypoallergenic but we know of very few adverse reactions to 14K gold, even in new piercings. If you are extremely sensitive or allergic to metals, your best bet is our 316LVM stainless steel jewelry. It is very hypoallergenic and approved for surgical implants. For tongue piercings we recommend 316LVM stainless steel only. 14K and 18K gold tends to discolor because of the high acidity of peoples mouths.
