A question on damascus jewlery

[DiamondG Knives]

I hope it is OK to post this question in this forum, I know Mr. Loose works with jewelry so I hope Im not out of line by posting here.

I have a friend that has plugs in his ear lobes, My question is would carbon steel damascus plugs be feasable? Would the raw steel cause reactions of some type? Could they be sealed in some way? Also I m thinking a round disk with a notch around the outside, is this the normal design?

I am totaly unfamiliar with this type of ear jewlery but would love to make somthing for this man as he has does so much with my Son in Martial Arts.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You


God Bless
