Belly Button Rings & Belly Piercing Jewelry

A belly ring is the easiest piece of jewelry to swap, and the one people see most of the summer. Why leave the same one in all year? There are thousands of styles here, priced so you can grab a few at a time and match the jewelry to the outfit, the mood or the beach week. We've been selling belly rings since 1999, so whatever you're into, it's probably already here.

 

Belly Button Piercing Sizing & Materials 101

Nearly every belly button piercing is done at 14 gauge with a curved barbell. That's the standard, and it's what almost everything in this collection fits. The most common bar length is 3/8" to 7/16". If your current ring sits comfortably, match its size and you're set.

Skip the ultra-thin "skinny" belly rings you'll see elsewhere. Jewelry that's too thin can migrate and irritate the piercing. A true 14G bar is what your piercer would tell you to wear, so that's what we sell.

If your skin reacts to cheap jewelry, implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) is nickel-free, and solid 14k gold is the real thing rather than plating. Looking for something specific?

FAQ

The standard is 14 gauge with a curved barbell, and the most common bar length is 3/8" to 7/16". If you already wear a belly ring that fits well, match its gauge and length. When in doubt, 14G by 3/8" is the safe everyday pick.

Plan on 6 to 9 months, sometimes longer. The navel is the slowest-healing common piercing, and it heals in ups and downs, fine one week and cranky the next. Keep your starter jewelry in until it's fully healed, and go easy on sit-ups and high waistbands while it settles.

Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136). It's nickel-free and very light. Solid 14k gold is the other skin-friendly pick. If nickel has ever made your skin angry, those two are your answer.

Not if you're wearing the right metal. Implant-grade titanium and solid 14k gold don't turn skin green. That happens with cheap plated metal once the coating wears off. Every product page lists exactly what the piece is made of.

Yes. Swap the metal barbell for a flexible pregnancy belly ring made from soft, bendable plastic such as PTFE or Bioplast. It flexes with your belly instead of pressing into it. See Pregnancy Belly Rings. Many moms wear them right up to delivery.

Once the piercing is fully healed, wash your hands, hold the bottom of the barbell and unscrew the top ball (righty-tighty, lefty-loosey). Slide the old bar out from the top, put the new one in from below, and screw the ball back on until snug. Never force it. On a dangle style the charm hangs from the bottom ball, and the swap works the same way.
