It is crucial to the founder of Starfire that only high quality jewelry will grace the pages of this site. You will see detailed material information on each page specific to the item listed. There are currently no regulations in regards to the materials used for body jewelry. (Scary, right?!)
For example, there are many grades of stainless steel available: the kind you may have wrapped around your refrigerator; the kind they use to market the junk jewelry they sell at the fair; and then there’s implant-grade stainless steel. We only purchase from suppliers that provide us will Mill Certificates guaranteeing that we get the latter.
While some people may be able to wear a sweet-looking piece of jewelry they got for super cheap, the average person cannot. Often times there isn't a big warning sign that your body doesn't like a piece of jewelry, and sometimes by the time you notice a problem, there is damage that cannot be fixed. (Ever heard of a navel piercing rejecting?) Your best solution: wear high quality jewelry so you don't risk it.
