ELECTRO
POLISH
Deka uses a sophisticated
surface finishing technique.
This activity slowly erodes a thin surface layer from jewellery
resulting in MICRO smoothing. High spots or
protrusions are removed preferentially so the surface is
extremely smooth and crevice free. The ultra clean surface
present on electropolished finishe body jewellery removes
bacterial activity. An imperfect surface will also heighten
rejection possibilities. Electropolishing is widely used
for surgical implants, food and beverage and Pharmaceutical
industries. Your health is our concern - this improved efficiency
on Deka jewellery is far superior to any other surface
quality on steel body jewellery produced by other methods.

HOW
TO MEASURE JEWELLERY SIZE
Jewellery
is measured inside diameter = I.D
I.D measure taken between the balls or inside the middle
of the ring. To measure piercing size measure the length
between holes in skin when piercing is relaxed.
(Navel must be lying down).
Correct size of jewellery is advisable.
METALS
316L SURGICAL STAINLESS STEEL
316L Stainless is the industry
standard for Body piercing jewellery.
The minute addition of nickel 316L and other alloys greatly contri-
butes to its spectacular barrier to corrosion. Unlike cheap low grade
jewellery 316L surgical stainless DOES NOT INDUCE nickel dermatitis
because the alloy binds the nickel so firmly that sweat cannot
liberate nickel salts. If there is no nickel release there is no nickel
sensitisation fantastic barrier to corrosion.
GOLD
9ct Gold is 37.5% gold and
62.5% alloy metal.
18ct Gold is 75% gold and 25% alloy metal.
18ct is the most suitable metal for piercings because of the high
percentage of gold content with minimum metal alloy. 18ct gold is
a purer metal providing superior healing. 9ct is less inert and more
inclined to create piercing infections and increase the rate of
jewellery migration. Most people can successfully wear 9ct and
Sterling Silver in their ears and noses only. 9ct is generally not
used for any other piercing.
NIOBIUM & TITANIUM
Unlike Surgical Steel and
other implantation alloys, Niobium is a
pure element which cannot be sub-divided into further components.
It is hypo-allergenic (safe to introduce to the body without adverse
reaction) and as a reactive metal can be coloured.
Titanium is a lustrous white metal with amazing strength, low density
and excellent corrosion resistance ideal for medical implants and
is
safe for body implantation.
ELECTROPOLISHING
Deka uses a sophisticated
surface finishing technique. This activity
slowly erodes a thin surface layer from jewellery resulting in MICRO
smoothing. High spots or protrusions are removed preferentially
so the surface is extremely smooth and crevice free. The ultra clean
surface present on electropolished finished body jewellery removes
bacterial activity. An imperfect surface will also heighten rejection
possibilities. Electropolishing is widely used for surgical implants,
food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Your health is
our concern - this improved surface efficiency on Deka
electropolished body jewellery is far superior to any other surface
quality on steel body jewellery produced by other methods.
