How To Order
The purpose of this section is to simplify ordering procedures for those who only have a vague idea about body piercing (silver jewelry wholesalers, jewelry store owners…)
We want to facilitate your choice so that you'll pick real hot sellers and reorder again and again. To achieve this goal, we must first talk to you about measurements, material and styles of jewelry. Spend a few minutes reading this page and you will find ordering body jewelry much easier than you thought.
Measurements
Two systems are used to measure body jewelry: Metric and Imperial.
The metric system uses millimeters while the Imperial one uses gauges and inches.
As default, we use millimeters throughout the catalog. For those of you who are more familiar with the Imperial system, please refer to the conversion chart below.
Gauge
It is the size of the stem on most pieces of jewelry. Basically, it's the size hole people need to insert a piece of jewelry.
Tip
1.0 and 1.2 mm jewelry is mostly used for eyebrow piercing. 1.6mm is the starting point for most piercing like the tongue or the navel. Larger sizes are used to enlarge holes. This is a gradual process.

Styles
Piercing Jewelry can be separated into eight categories
Ball Closure Rings
BCR's can be used with most piercing. They are the most common item of jewelry. Ball closure rings are used for initial piercing as they are easy to rotate in a fresh piercing, thus making them easy to clean.
Barbells
Barbells are mostly used for tongue piercings but can also be used for nipple piercings. Micro barbells (1.2 Gauge) are used for eyebrows.
Bananas
The most popular of all piercing jewelry, bananas are used mostly for navel piercings even though they look nice when worn as earrings. Micro bananas (1.2 mm Gauge) are used for eyebrows.
Circulars Barbells
The main purpose of circular barbells are to be used on nipple piercings but as with most piercings jewelry. they look fine in the ears.
Spirals
Body spirals are mostly seen as navel jewelry.
Labrets
Labrets are used for both lower and upper lip piercings as well as for the ears. In longer length, they can even be used for tongue piercings.
Harware
not exactly mainstream jewelry but increasingly popular, we classify as hardware all jewelry that has a larger gauge. Most of that jewelry is used to enlarge ear holes.
On this site, you'll see some jewelry going up to 30 mm diameter gauge. mostly plugs, ear tubes and tunnels
