Gold, whether it be the 14 or 18 carat variety is always in style and can be found at wholesale outlets. Practice particular care when purchasing gold body jewelry from foreign providers. Different countries have looser restrictions with gold carat classifications. Therefore, an item may claim to be 14 carat gold but in all actuality be of lower quality. Many wholesale body companies use this scam to take advantage of customers and keep their prices down. This will not necessarily hurt your body, but no need to hurt your pocketbook either if you exercise caution.
