About Our Jewelry

• Our primary selection of gold is 14k but we do have a smaller selection of 18k ends. Some of the brands we work with will make their jewelry in both 14k and 18k so if you would like to place a custom order for a piece in 18k we’re happy to help!

• We do not stock any gold plated or gold filled jewelry.

• All of the jewelry we carry is nickel free and polished to a mirror finish making it perfect for both fresh and healed piercings and great for sensitive skin. 

• The jewelry brands we work with offer a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty against defect and damage. Jewelry lost or damaged due to negligence is not covered under warranty. If you have a piece of jewelry that is damaged, please send us an email to avapiercing@gmail.com or fill out a contact form below and we will help you with the repair process.

• All of the jewelry we carry is implant grade, nickel free, and safe to be pierced with as long as the size and style are appropriate for the piercing and your anatomy

• We do not pierce with simple seam rings or clickers due to the likelihood of the seam spinning through the healing piercing channel. Instead we can pierce with any of our decorative seam rings and fixed bead rings
