The bar and screw ball are made of surgical steel. Top designed part is made of copper and rhodium plated since it is flexible to shape the design and has good strength to hold CZ. Rhodium plating is used to enhance the luster and durability of metals.
Please note that the plated area is weak to sweat, perfume, and other chemical substances. If the plated area is exposed to water and cosmetic products for a long time consistently, it may cause tarnish.

If the item is totally surgical steel, titanium or silver, it is informed in the item detail section.
