How
to Order
|
|
WELCOME
TO BODY-PIERCING.COM
|
|
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 or.
|
| |
|
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 piercings. 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.
|
| |
|
CIRCULAR
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 relatively new in the piercing industry. They
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.
|
| |
|
HARDWARE
|
|
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 22 mm diameter
gauge. mostly plugs, ear tubes and tunnels
