Organic body jewellery is lightweight, natural and has the added bonus that each & every piece is absolutely unique!
Another great benefit of natural body jewellery is that it helps reduce the odour sometimes associated with large gauge piercings by absorbing the oil and sweat around your stretched piercing.
