Glass
belongs to a group of substances with unique properties
which are termed supercooled liquids, that is liquids
which have passed into a rigid state without undergoing
any noticeable structural change. Glass may be artificial
(that is, made by man), but such volcanic
substances as obsidian are naturally occurring glasses,
and all have one property in common: the ultimate
structure of glass is amorphous and not crystalline.
By its very nature glass is inert, and therefore hypoallergenic.
That is to say, glass is totally unreactive and exhibits
no chemical activity whatsoever, so it is completely
deficient in causing any allergy. Since the 1980's
glass has been used in the medical world as an inert
foundation substance in corrective facial bone surgery,
and implantation in bone reconstruction throughout
the body. The bio-compatibility characteristics of
glass make it a super-safe super-comfortable material
for body implantation, and ideal in helping to prevent
infection in newly pierced or stretched areas. Liquid
Glass uses only Borosilicate
and Barium
glasses in all pieces, so there is absolutely no lead
in any Liquid body jewelry.
