Body Piercing Jewellery

Body piercing jewelry refers to jewelry pieces that are manufactured especially to be worn in pierced body parts, be it earlobe piercing or tragus bars, eyebrow piercing or nipple piercing or the more recent navel piercing. The market for body piercing jewelry is expanding at a rapid pace, all thanks to the latest trend to get a piercing. Almost every part of the body can be pierced easily and safely as long as you go to a certified piercing artist for the same. While body piercing jewelry was earlier used primarily for the purpose of self adornment, today it is viewed more in the light of self expression.A gamut of ornaments is produced in the name of body piercing jewelry. These include earrings, era studs, bar bells, tongue rings, captive bead rings, labrets, eyebrow rings, logo body jewelry, piercing stretchers and so on and so forth. Each of the above mentioned jewelry pieces are available in a wide variety of materials that range from stainless steel and sterling silver to gold plated Zirconium and titanium pieces. If you are getting a fresh piercing, you should pick up a body piercing jewelry that is made of softer materials such as Bio Flex or Bioplast that reduce the healing time and have lesser risk of being rejected by the body.A piece of jewelry can never be complete without accessories and this is equally true for piercing jewelry that often comes with threaded embellishments, dangling logos or designs that have been embedded with gems or multi colored beads or balls that you can change everyday to complement your outfit. Just like everyday gold or silver jewelry, even piercing jewelry needs proper maintenance so that they last long and offer you greater value for your hard earned money. For instance, you should take care not to soak your acrylic body jewelry in alcohol or else it may become brittle and shatter. Moreover, alcohol will also dissolve the adhesive used to attach acrylic balls to the steel gauze thus making them prone to falling off. Similarly, if you have been using a threaded accessory with your piercing jewelry for a long time, you should check it at regular intervals to ensure that it has not become loose. In case you have a blinking and flashing or a vibrating tongue ring, you should check their batteries on a regular basis. Lastly and most importantly, always touch your body piercing jewelry with clean hands.
