Luxury body jewelry & piercing aftercare for every version of you

Body jewelry is measured by gauge (thickness) and length or diameter. Most fresh piercings start at 16G or 14G with extra length to accommodate swelling. Once healed, you can downsize to a shorter post for a flush, polished look. When in doubt, message us with your current piece's measurements.

Your piercing needs different care at different stages of its healing journey. Knowing where you are in that process helps you know when to keep things simple and when it’s finally time for new jewelry. 🍓

• Fresh (0–6 weeks): Longer jewelry posts to accommodate swelling, consistent daily care, and safe jewelry materials such as surgical steel, titanium or Bioplast.
• Healing (6 weeks–6 months, longer for cartilage, navels and nipples): Your piercing is still healing beneath the surface, so continue with gentle cleaning, avoid unnecessary touching or twisting, and give it time. See the healing timeline below for how long each placement usually takes.
• Healed: The moment we’ve been waiting for! Once your piercing is fully healed and ready for a jewelry change, it’s time to find a piece that feels like you. Shop our jewelry collection →

Some tenderness, mild redness and a small amount of clear or whitish fluid can be part of the normal healing process. However, increased swelling, persistent redness, unusual bumps, worsening pain, excessive bleeding or yellow/green discharge may mean your piercing needs some extra attention.

If you’re experiencing any of these concerns, contact us directly for guidance or visit your professional piercer for an assessment. Avoid removing or changing the jewelry yourself until you’ve received appropriate guidance.

The material you wear matters, especially while your piercing is healing. Quality surgical steel and implant-grade titanium are commonly used options for healing piercings, while certain body-safe flexible materials may be appropriate in specific situations when recommended by a professional piercer.

Be careful not to confuse gold-colored jewelry with solid gold. Many costume jewelry pieces are made from mixed metals such as copper or brass and may simply have a gold-colored or plated finish. These materials can cause irritation, discoloration or sensitivity, particularly in a fresh piercing.

Once your piercing is fully healed, you’ll have much more freedom to experiment with fashion and statement pieces. Until then, keep your jewelry simple, good quality and appropriate for healing. 🍓

Earlobe piercings typically take around 6–8 weeks to heal, while nostril and septum piercings can take several months. Cartilage piercings should be given a minimum of 6 months, with some taking considerably longer depending on the placement and your body. Navel piercings also need at least 6 months and can take up to a year or longer to fully heal. Nipple piercings commonly take 6–12 months or longer.

Remember, healing happens from the outside in, so a piercing can look and feel healed before the inside is actually ready. Stay consistent with your aftercare, avoid changing your jewelry too soon, and when in doubt, check with your piercer. 🍓
