We believe your jewelry should feel as good as it looks. That’s why every MADAJ piece is crafted from solid 18k gold, specially alloyed to be 100% hypoallergenic and nickel-free — the safest choice for sensitive skin and healing piercings.

Unlike mass-market jewelry that often contains hidden alloys like nickel (a common allergen), MADAJ uses only premium, medical-grade gold compositions. Our gold is not just skin-safe — it’s luxury-grade, durable, and made to last.

  • Available in Yellow, Rose, White — and soon, Black Gold
  • Zero nickel, zero irritation — even for fresh piercings
  • Hallmarked for gold purity and made in our own atelier

 14k vs 18k Gold:
What’s the Real Difference?

At MADAJ, we use only 18k gold — not 14k — because your skin deserves the highest purity available for everyday wear.

Some other brands use 14k gold, which contains just 58.5% pure gold — the rest is base metals like copper, zinc, and often nickel, a known allergen. While it’s commonly chosen for being harder and more cost-effective, it comes at the expense of skin compatibility and long-term value.

18k gold, by contrast, is 75% pure — richer, softer on the skin, and more resistant to tarnish and oxidation. Our proprietary alloy is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, making it the safest and most luxurious choice for piercings, especially for sensitive or healing skin.

  • More gold, less risk: 18k is gentler on your skin and healing tissue
  • Nickel-free by design: Always safe, even for sensitive skin
  • Luxury that lasts: Richer color, better resistance, and more value over time

When you're wearing jewelry through your skin — not just on it — purity isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
