Other people’s jewellery:
Regardless of how well a piece can be cleaned and sterilised, we will not use someone else’s previously worn jewellery on another client. Enough residue can remain to defeat even the most thorough cleaning and sterilisation methods. As a result, there is no accepted standard practice for the reuse of body jewellery on other clients.
You may be asked to provide brand or mill certificates to ensure the jewellery’s safety.
