Different Types of Navel Rings

Navel piercings are growing in popularity. A sexy design can highlight a flat stomach and draw attention to those abs you worked so hard to sculpt.

The Piercing

Barbell (One Womanz Junque)

Navel piercings typically take about one year to heal. During that time, you should not change out the jewelry that was used to make the piercing, and you should treat the wound in accordance with the instructions given to you by the person who performed your piercing.

Barbells

Spiral (Body Jewelry for All)

Curved barbells are the most common jewelry design, and they fit comfortably in the piercing.

Spirals

Captive bead ring (Deep Down Treasures)

Another very popular style is the spiral, which draws eye-catching attention to the navel.

Rings

Barbell with dangle (Black Velvets Jewels)

This type of design fastens in a continuous loop through the piercing.

Dangles

Any of the navel ring designs may have jewels or charms that attach and dangle from the ring for added interest.

Metals

Most navel rings are made of surgical stainless steel, though sterling silver and gold are also available.
