Solid 18K Gold Piercing Jewelry

For those who want the richest gold we make, our 18K gold piercing jewelry is the premium step up from 14K — 75% pure gold, with a deeper, warmer yellow you can see. Every piece is solid 18K gold, nickel-free, and handcrafted to order in our California studio.

Solid 18K Gold — Our Purest Yellow

18-karat gold is 75% pure gold, compared with 58.5% in 14K. That higher gold content gives 18K its signature rich, buttery-yellow color and a more luxurious weight and feel. As with everything we make, it's solid gold throughout — never plated, never filled — so the color never wears off, and it stays hypoallergenic and gentle against your skin.

14K or 18K — Which Is Right for You?

Both are solid, nickel-free gold and safe for healed piercings. 14K is a touch harder, which makes it our go-to for everyday, high-contact wear. 18K trades a little of that hardness for noticeably richer color and a true fine-jewelry feel — ideal when you want your piercing to read as a luxury piece. If you prefer the most hypoallergenic metal of all, explore our platinum body jewelry.
