Body jewelry is one of the most
overlooked ways to add an accessory (or two) to an outfit. This
category of jewelry consists of belly rings, eyebrow rings, and
labret rings, all of which require a piercing in the appropriate
places (the navel or bellybutton, the eyebrow, and below the lower
lip, respectively.) The newest styles of body jewelry are nothing
like the simple, colorful-yet-juvenile-looking ones of the past.
Instead, they feature premium metals and inset gemstones that lend a
sophisticated air to this forgotten category of jewelry.
Belly Rings With Style
Unlike other types of piercings, it can
be impossible to know if someone has a belly piercing – bedecked
with a belly ring – if their navel area is covered up. However, if
that person is wearing a cropped shirt, then that piercing is on
display, and you need something with a little “flash” to show it
off. A belly ring made of 14-karat white gold with a diamond accent
will do the trick nicely. Or, if you want something that’s even
more stylish, look for a white gold belly ring with a star shaped
end, complete with an inset sapphire and a few diamonds. These will
definitely add – not detract – from your look!
Add a Little Sparkle with an Eyebrow
Ring
Eyebrow rings are hard to miss. They
correspond with piercings through the end of the eyebrow
(traditionally anyway) and can be shaped like a barbell or have a
slight curve. Both of these styles come with decorative points on
either end that can be literally triangularly shaped points, or
rounded ends with inset cubic zirconia. As far as metals go, you have
your choice of 14 karat yellow or white gold.
Different Types of Labret Rings
Like eyebrow rings, labret rings are
prominently displayed on your face. The labret piercing is
traditionally done in the skin underneath the lower lip. Some people
have one placed centrally in this spot, while others may opt for two
piercings, one on either side. The ring can either be a small stud
that is barely noticeable while in, or a double-sided ring that
protrudes above the bottom lip, making a larger impact. The simplest
of these, the “stud” variety, are made of 14 karat white or
yellow gold, ensuring that you have an easy time matching the rest of
your jewelry.
No matter where your piercing (or
piercings) may be, don’t forget to wear your body jewelry with
pride! It shows off a little of your personality, particularly if
it’s made of gold and decorated with gemstones.
