Keyhole Gauges

We use majority sterling silver and silicon bronze.

Sterling silver is nickel free. 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper your items will have a natural patina over time.

Silicon bronze, 95% copper, 4% silicon, 1% manganese. Your bronze will have a patina over time and can create a black oxide on the skin if worn for long periods of time (Approximately 8hrs). Please use proper hygiene when wearing silicon bronze ear gauges/weights.

We do not use plated metals unless indicated, the base metal will also be indicated in cases of plated items. 

We do our best to recycle our own metals in house.

Anyone who has a fresh piercing, a body piercing (meaning in the mouth or under the skin), or is actively stretching their lobes should look for items made of hypoallergenic materials such as titanium, platinum, glass, or gold above 14k. 

Gold plating, acrylic, and steel are not considered hypoallergenic. 

Non-hypoallergenic materials are fine for use in healed lobe piercings or for other forms of jewellery (rings, pendants, etc). 

If you have a specific allergy you can email us at clearmindmetals@gmail.com and we would be happy to let you know what metals we have that are comparable with your specific allergy. 

If you have never worn weights before it is common to be concerned about how comfortable they will be. Like with stretching itself it is best to start at the lowest size weight and work up. We recommend 20-30 grams for individuals new to wearing weights. 

Weights are appropriate for all gauge sizes. The larger your lobe is the easier the heavier ear weights are to wear. 

NO. Do not use our ear weights to stretch. Using ear weights to stretch will cause your lobe to thin along the bottom as well as causing a miss-shaped stretch. 

Weights are to be worn for a maximum of 8hrs.
