Small Jewel Belly Bar is the standard use for navel piercings. This jewel belly bar is smaller and great if you just want a minimalistic piece of jewellery. It also is less easy to catch when smaller. Great for school. We sell a large range of colours, as well as  sizes of this jewelled belly bar. We stock lengths from 8 mm, 10mm or 12 mm long. Simply choose your length to fit your piercing perfectly! See our shorter belly bars in the linked picture below “you may also like.” If you have a shallow piercing or your piercing is well healed and there is space when you wear a 10 mm bar, then choose an 8 mm or 6 mm size.

The average length if you are unsure, is 10 mm. This is the standard length for an initial piercing and fits most people. If the piercing has been done deeply it is sometimes necessary to get a 12 mm bar, for extra length. 2 mm makes quite a difference.

The ball at the top end of the bar will unscrew and can be replaced with any other body jewellery ball with a 14 gauge thread.

What is surgical steel?

Both the small jewel belly bar and the ball are made from surgical steel. {316L} This means they are implant-grade surgical stainless steel – it is probably the most common and most widely used metal for body piercings. Surgical Stainless Steels (316L) are used for bone fixation screws, body pins, bone plates, staples, amongst many other applications. We do not play or gamble with your health.

If you’re wearing SS 316L  jewellery and are having problems with irritation or a new piercing that just won’t heal, it is possible that you have a intolerance to surgical steel and might want to try titanium.

Navel Piercing Care

Wash your piercing daily. Use a Q-Tip dipped in warm water to wipe and remove any built up crust from around the piercing site. Do this very gently, avoiding moving the jewellery around too much. Then, wash your piercing with antibacterial soap in the shower.
