PRO TIP
Know your fit? Stay consistent.
Measure your current jewelry and match it when upgrading to PRESSHA.
DISCLAIMER
Fit may vary based on anatomy, piercing placement, and healing stage. Initial jewelry is typically longer to allow for swelling. For optimal sizing, consult a professional piercer before purchasing.
Materials & Plating
Our Materials
When it comes to body jewelry, material quality isn't just about aesthetics — it directly impacts your safety, healing, and how long your jewelry lasts. At Pressha, we carefully select materials that meet the demands of sensitive skin and everyday wear, so you can wear with confidence.
Implant-Grade Titanium (ASTM F136)
Our premium base metal is implant-grade titanium — the gold standard for body jewelry. It is 100% nickel-free, hypoallergenic, and biocompatible, making it safe for fresh and healed piercings alike. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, titanium is resistant to corrosion and body fluids.
316L Surgical Steel
Our primary workhorse metal is 316L surgical-grade stainless steel — a widely trusted material in body jewelry known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and smooth finish. Suitable for most healed piercings.
⚠️ Nickel Notice: 316L surgical steel contains trace amounts of nickel. While it is considered safe for most people, those with a known nickel allergy or sensitivity should opt for our implant-grade titanium pieces instead. When in doubt, consult your piercer.
316L Surgical Steel with PVD Coating
Many of our pieces feature a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish applied over 316L surgical steel. PVD coatings are significantly more durable than traditional electroplating — resistant to chipping, fading, and tarnishing. We offer the following PVD finishes:
- Gold — warm, classic, and timeless
- Rose Gold — soft, romantic, and on-trend
- Black — bold, sleek, and modern
The PVD finish is applied over surgical steel, so the same nickel notice above applies to these pieces.
Brass (Select Styles)
Some of our decorative and fashion-forward pieces are crafted from brass. Brass is used in select styles where design complexity or aesthetic detail takes priority. We recommend brass pieces for healed piercings only, and suggest removing them before swimming, showering, or extended wear to maintain finish quality.
Gemstones & Embellishments
Many of our pieces are set with cubic zirconia (CZ) stones — a brilliant, affordable alternative to diamonds that delivers exceptional sparkle. Our CZ stones are carefully set in surgical steel or titanium settings to ensure secure, long-lasting wear. Select styles may also feature crystal or synthetic opal accents for added color and dimension.
Care Tips
- Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, chlorine, or saltwater
- Clean with mild soap and warm water
- Pat dry with a soft cloth — avoid abrasive materials
- Store separately to prevent scratching
- Remove brass pieces before swimming or showering

What to Avoid
To prevent irritation and promote healing:
Touching your piercing unnecessarily
Twisting or spinning jewelry
Sleeping directly on the piercing
Swimming in pools, lakes, or hot tubs during early healing

Belly Button: 6–12 months
Tongue: 4–8 weeks
Why Our Materials Matter
