Update Your Look With Sophisticated Body Jewelry

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.
