There are some things to watch out in using gold body jewelry. Gold can become discolored from autoclaving. There can be several reasons for this, such as reaction to the chemical indicators, residues left from polishing, cleaning products, or corrosion of elements in the gold itself. It is also important to know that gold body jewelry should usually be avoided in healing piercings as body fluids tends to tarnish the metal due to the gold’s soft attribute. Gold also scratches easily which can also affect the body as the scratches can irritate the body especially if used on a fresh piercing.

Please note using gold for piercings, a lower purity than 14kt is not recommended.
