Body Jewelry
How to choose body jewelry
Category split
Sub-type: Clothing & Accessories holds belly chains, Jewellery & Watches covers nose studs, Body Jewellery lists dermal anchors.
Piercing need
Pierced versus non-pierced: fake lip rings need no hole, but dermal implants give a fixed look.
Material choice
Material sensitivity: titanium and surgical steel suit daily wear, silver needs more upkeep, wood limits colour.
Nose fit
Nose stud shape: bone, screw, and L-shape sit differently in the nostril and suit different comfort levels.
Gauge and fit
Gauge weight: 20G cuffs are light, 14G pieces are sturdy but need a professional piercer.
What's good
- Titanium and surgical steel body jewellery resist skin reactions, making them a safe daily tier.
- Non-pierced types like fake lip cuffs and belly chains give the look with no needle.
- Clicker rings in steel or titanium fit conch, helix, and septum spots, so one style covers many piercings.
- Gold and 14k gold filled pieces bring yellow or pink colour options beyond silver tones.
- Waist beads and belly chains sit under Clothing & Accessories and adjust to any body size.
Things to watch
- Silver and sterling silver tarnish faster than stainless steel or titanium, so they need regular care.
- Wood and silicone pieces come in brown or plain colours, unlike the ten colour options elsewhere in the range.
- Thin 24G nose studs bend and slip more than 14G dermal implants built for surface hold.
- Clip-on cuffs can loosen if not sized right, while pierced studs stay fixed in place.
- Gold and 14k gold filled scratch easier than steel, so they need gentler storage.
Care & maintenance
Quick wipe
Wipe titanium and steel with a soft dry cloth after wear to clear skin oils.
Silver storage
Store silver and sterling silver in a dry pouch to slow tarnish.
Avoid water
Remove wood or silicone before bathing or swimming to prevent damage.
Check tension
Check belly chain clasps and cuff tension every week to avoid losing them.
