Very low profile gold plated tips, with a thread suitable for screwing onto 1.6mm and 2.0mm internally threaded rods. Available in various designs.
Internally Threaded
This piece of jewelery has an internally threaded locking feature, meaning the top has a 'pin'/screw with threads on the outside, while the rod that the top fits is hollow like a tube with threads on the inside. The "stick" at the top is thus written into the staff. This system is very gentle on the tissue because the threading itself, which can be a bit sharp, is never in contact with the skin. Please note that tops of this type only fit together with poles with the same type of locking function and vice versa! If you are not sure what type of jewelry you should choose, you are most welcome to contact us and we will help you!
This piece of jewelery is made of gold
Gold is an element and a precious metal. Gold is also counted as a mineral and is called aurum in Latin, which is shortened to Au. Gold is found in underground veins and in soil, mainly in so-called "alluvial soil", and there are various methods for extracting the gold from the ground. Pure gold is a relatively soft metal that alone is not very suitable for manufacturing, but the hardness can be increased by mixing the gold with other metals, such as copper or silver. The most common carat in jewelry is 18 carat, but in jewelry that requires a harder surface, 14 carat is preferred. A lower carat on the gold thus means a harder material that is not scratched as easily and that lasts for frequent use, which means that gold in 14 and 18 carats is excellently suited for piercing jewelry! Common gold (yellow gold and red gold) is warm yellow in color, but there are also white gold, rose gold and black gold, among others.
White gold
White gold has been developed to imitate platinum. White gold consists of an alloy (mixture) of primarily gold, silver, copper and usually varying amounts of the white metal palladium. In the past, nickel was commonly found in white gold, but this is basically no longer used due to the risk of allergic reactions. White gold is usually 18 karat.
Rose gold
Rose gold or rose gold are different varieties of red gold that have been mixed with silver or aluminum to make the metal more pink in color. The aluminum mixture gives the gold a stronger pink color.
Black gold
Black gold is produced by oxidizing a mixture of gold and (usually) cobalt at a temperature of 700–950 °C. The oxidation also creates a protection against abrasion.
