Metal Content of
Piercing Jewelry - amounts to: Trust a Reliable Supplier
Mill Certificates are available for the Stainless Steel parts
used in the Piercing Jewelry
we sell as provide by the contractors, converters, mills, distributors
and manufacturers.
Mills making stainless steels produce a
large volume at each time
and that volume remains in inventory either at the steel plant or at a
distributor or at some other processor.
Orders for Stainless Steel are then accepted by the mill or distributor
and sent from inventory.
Each Batch could last years.
Each batch produced by the mill may last days, weeks, months, or even
years
until that batch is completely sold.
The "Mill Certificate" certifies that the material in that lot is as
described.
Because there are no lot numbers or serial numbers engraved on piercing
jewelry
there is no way to trace anything or know if a particular piece of
jewelry is from a particular lot.
If there is no lot number engraved on your jewelry it is untraceable.
No lot number means trust your supplier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The majority of all piercing jewelry is made overseas and mostly
from Asia.
Do not be fooled. 316L is virtually the same as
316LVM and of NO SUPERIORITY for piercing. As an example, would
it make sense to buy a car and pay a premium
because it could withstand 300 degrees below zero, instead of 200
degrees below zero?
This is in effect what the difference is for piercing: NO DIFFERENCE.
Desperate suppliers expose their RACIST
prejudice
when they claim Asian stainless steel is "inferior."
Desperate Suppliers try and deceive YOU.
Watch Out.....when someone says... "cheap Asian steel"
When they spout ASTM Standards they want to confuse you
with their "pseudo" technical talk as if they had superior
knowledge.
It's a technique of persuasion to win an argument and distort your
thinking.
In fact, these Desperate Suppliers are not ISO Certified in the US or
Europe.
Lies are meant to distort your mind's ability to see reality.
Claiming that Asian goods are not produced under ASTM standards
does not mean they do not meet standards. ATM is American.
Most industrial nations publish their own
standards.
It like saying because something is measured in mm it does not meet
American Standards.
When it comes to LOWER COST, Asia is a global source everyone knows
that.
The cost of the stainless steel in a piercing jewelry is pennies, the
rest is labor.
A barbell from Asia costs 30 cents, made in the USA it is $ 6.00.
Your subway cars are made from Asian steels and your car
parts.
Boeing Dreamliner tail sections (25%) are now MADE IN CHINA,
and are not inferior in any way. TVs, cameras, phones and computers.
How many items that we trust and use and our lives depend on.
Hold these deceivers accountable when they try to fool you.
"Accountability" means there is a price to pay.
The price is you shun them.
When suppliers lie, not including
mistakes, they should not get your future orders.
If the buck stops here, and there is no penalty for failing, it
means nothing,
Without penalty "Accountability" is a joke.
A little secret:
Most all
jewelry is made in Asia and
then only polished and assembled here.
They then say "Made in America" which they are allowed to do.
If you import Chinese barbells and screw the balls on it is now Made in
the USA.
... but they won't tell you that,
because they want to charge you more money for the same jewelry. Such
Liars.
Usually sales people who use this gimmick
want you to pay bigger bucks
for jewelry that is superior by the finishing, which it is, but not the
steel.
Another deception is the appeal to: "Quality" above price.
You could go out of business falling for this old line.
Buying the highest quality body jewelry does not make sense if you have
a business. This is a real phone
call I had with someone
who has two shops.
It's funny how this owner failed to see that
they are successful competing against tattoo shops
but lost all their piercing business to the same shops
and blaming it on "too many Shops in the area"
Wes: Hi. ----, How's business.
X: Good. Our tattoo figures are better
than last year.
Wes: I see you haven't bought jewelry for a real long time.
X: Yeah, we've been buying everything from
--xyz--- hand polished "quality" jewelry.
Wes: Why is that?
X: Actually we don't buy much anymore.
Last month we let our piercer go.
Too many tattoo shops.
Too much competition.
He didn't get it.
He competed in tattoo but lost his piercing business.
You know the phrase: "It's just business".
Meaning to them that it's only business to them. Friendship is second to
money.
Support and deal with those who are the business.
