Industrial Strength EuropE

Jamming Piercing GmbH is proud to be the European representative of Industrial Strength, the leading top quality piercing jewelry manufacturer from the USA since 2003.

In our studio in St.Gallen (Switzerland), you will find a huge selection of first class piercing jewelry. Our wide and deep assortment leaves almost no piercing jewelry wishes unfulfilled. Besides the conventional standard designs, which we mostly carry in different materials like titanium and implantable steel, our offer includes a lot of designs in different sizes for stretched piercings like ears (- 5cm). The quality of the jewelry is an important factor in the healing of a fresh piercing, as well as for maximum comfort for healed piercings. All the materials we use for the first piercing have been tested by the Laboratory of the Original Cantons and have been proven to be implantable. Our titanium (6AL4V ELI F-136) and steel (316LVM F-138) jewelry meet the Swiss and European nickel regulations for first use!

Industrial Strength was founded in 1991 by J.D Lorenz as a one man company, where he started from his bedroom. Through stringent quality standards and ever-changing innovative products, Industrial Strength has become the leading international manufacturer of recognized professional piercing jewelry. We are constantly working to improve our jewelry and expand our product lines to meet the needs of our customers. 

We use only the best materials for the production of our jewelry, so among other things all stones are from the company Swarovski.

All jewelry is made with a very high precision. Screw-in jewelry each has internal threads for easy replacement and the balls are recessed for optimal grip. Rings with clamp balls or fixed balls have been annealed to make them softer and therefore more bendable. All of our jewelry is hand finished, polished to a high shine. Each piece of jewelry is finished by hand and inspected by quality control. All of our jewelry is made in our own factory in Carlsbad, California.

When it comes to your own body, quality pays off quickly because your health is at stake. You can find details about the different jewelry in our store.

What makes our jewelry so special?

All jewelry is polished to a high shine by hand. All screwable closures are provided with an internal thread. This allows a smoother and safer insertion of the jewelry. Since the balls are precisely tuned to the bar, losing the jewelry is very rare. Each piece of jewelry is hand steam cleaned to remove any polish residue.

Stone clasps are fitted with Swarovski stones and pressed into the setting. This makes it almost impossible for the stone to fall out.

Piercing Pistol?

In the Jamming Piercing Studio, no shot and pressure devices are used for Piercings. 

The non-suitable jewelry form, shatters the tissue to be pierced. 

A suitable Piercing Needle, on the other hand, gives a clean cut that heals much better and faster. 

Another big problem is that the gun cannot be properly sterilized.

Professional Piercers do not use a piercing gun, even for the earlobe. 

That means?

Serious pathogens may be present on the gun, transferred to the jewelry and transmitted directly to the human body (cross-contamination). Disinfection of the gun is not sufficient. The tissue (including earlobes, not just cartilage tissue) often reacts adversely after weeks or months.

More info can be found on Google under “Piercing Gun & Chondritis” or “Piercing Gun & Cauliflower Ear”.
