Based on the exact diamond measurements, the precious metal collets, top ball and chosen bar length are created, hand shaped and polished.
Hallmarking and stamping
Your diamond belly ring is then presented to the independent Assay Office London, to verify it's precious metal content and for the stamping of Pobjoy's "PM" maker's mark.
Setting of each diamond
The final stage is the meticulous hand setting of each diamond, to bring your belly ring to life. After it has been fastidiously polished and quality checked it is gift wrapped, ready to deliver.
Precious Metal Guide
When it comes to buying a diamond belly piercing, a hypoallergenic metal is essential.
Your choice may also be influenced by colour, how this will look against your skin tone, your existing jewellery and the amount you wish to spend.*
Gold
9K gold has a high nickel content which can cause discomfort to some peoples skin..
And due to the position of a belly piercing, be aware that the skin around this area may be especially sensitive.
The reduced nickel content found in 14K gold improves it's hypoallergenic qualities and it's durability
In the case of 18K gold, as well as being more durable, the inherent higher gold purity means even less nickel content.
So, unless you experience dermatological reactions when wearing other 18K gold jewellery, this will make an ideal choice.
18K white gold also maintains it's silvery appearance for longer than 9K and 14K.
Titanium
Titanium is a strong, silvery grey metal which is not as dense or heavy as gold or platinum.
It is non-corrosive and does not discolour or tarnish, making it a great option for piercings.
It is also hypoallergenic.
Platinum
When it comes to platinum, it's impressive hypoallergenic qualities, weighty feel and durability make it an extremely popular choice.***
Known as 950 platinum, it includes 5% iridium and ruthenium to make it more manageable in the creation of premium quality jewellery.
Once finished and polished it will not discolour and is less susceptible to knocks and abrasions than most other metals.
My daughter was absolutely delighted with her gift.
I also particularly like the fact that Pobjoy list the clarity and colour of their diamond jewellery, which is not common practice in the UK.
I can highly recommend Pobjoy Diamonds and will certainly be purchasing from them again in the future.
