Silicone Care & Maintenance
¬? Wash with soap & warm water prior to use, or autoclave jewelry.
¬? To insert the jewelry fold/squish it in half, and then in half again, slip into piercing and let go. It will resume it's shape (and will try to do so while you're trying to fold it, so the first few times may take a couple minutes) and look totally sweet.
¬? DO NOT chemiclave, soak in madacide or expose silicone to any other toxic chemical. The silicone may retain minute amounts of the toxin(s), which should be avoided.
¬? Initial irritation may develop from repeated squishing by all your friends. Even those who should know better (ie: piercers and shop kids) will squish your jewelry all day if you let them.

Material Information:
Silicone is often mistakenly referred to as "silicon". Although silicones contain silicon atoms, they are not made up exclusively of silicon, and have completely different physical characteristics from elemental silicon.
The word "silicone" is derived from ketone. Dimethylsilicone and dimethyl ketone (a.k.a. acetone) have analogous formulas, thus it was surmised (incorrectly) that they have analogous structures. The same terminology is used for compounds such as silane (an analogue of methane). A true silicone group with a double bond between oxygen and silicon (see figure) does not exist in nature; chemists find that the silicon atom forms a single bond with each of two oxygen atoms, rather than a double bond to a single atom. Polysiloxanes are called "silicone" due to early mistaken assumptions about their structure.
