Gold rings With Charms
The navel is one of the most sensual and erogenous parts of your body and what better sight than glittering belly piercing jewelry teasing one from a well toned slender stomach. There was no sign of navel rings until 1994, when super model Christy Turlinton not only introduced but also immortalized the fashion of body piercing. She walked the ramp at a fashion show in London flaunting her bare midriff with a ring in the middle of her navel. Following her Naomi Campbell flaunted her bare midriff with a gold belly button ring.
there is a great variety of body jewelry available for navel piercing; surgical steel rings, 14k and 22k gold plated surgical steel, titanium rings, rings with Charms on them and captive bead rings, barbells and labarets. You can also have crystal beads or gold plated beads as an extra feature on any of the available rings. And after the piercing is healed you can hang a charm off the ring or put a waist chain through it. Navel jewels can also be worn, they are like a bent barbell with a small ball on top and a larger ball on the bottom which has a gemstone set in it, the gemstone sits in your navel
the two most common designs for belly piercing jewelry are the belly ring and the belly bar. Piercing is done with either the rings or the curved bars. The curved bars have two balls at each end, to close the bars. Normally, these balls have inscriptions or pictures on them.
While selecting navel jewelery, two measurements should be kept in mind the width of a ring and the diameter of the bar, which refers to the length of the bar. Jewelery comes in varying sizes and thickness or the gauge of the piece. Thin jewelery will have larger gauge numbers and vice-versa. The typical size for a belly button ring is 14g 7/16′ but now belly rings in any gauge and in any length from a quarter to one inch are freely available.
The most commonly used material is steel. Plain or surgical steel with acrylic or steel balls are used for piercing. The other choices in metal are gold 14 carat or 18 carat. Titanium and silver are all used for belly piercing jewelery. The use of nickel is not recommended.
Belly button piercing is the second most pierced body part after the ears. Belly piercing jewelery is very sensuous both to wear and watch.
Jewelry question for ppl in Sacramento CA?
I have a sterling silver charm bracelet, the traditional kind that has the Charms dangling from the bracelet, not that italian crap. Anyway on some of the Charms I have a white gold split ring keeping them on the chain, but for the newer Charms I’ve added they are only hanging on with a jump ring, which makes me nervous bc they can be pulled off with enough force. I also have other smaller charm bracelets that need work (i.e. some of the links need to be soldered and repaired). My question is, a few years ago before I moved my local jeweler was able to put the split rings on my charm bracelet, but the place I live in now, they dont’ work on silver jewelery. Does anyone know of a place in sacramento ca where they can work on silver jewelery? Like I said, I need some repair work on another bracelet and I have no idea where to go.
You do not say where you are in Sacramento.
I have a sterling necklace that need some repair work done on it and I went to the Downtown Plaza. There is a jewelry Store on one of the side hallways that will do the work for you.
I am sorry i do not know their name. They are across from Morton’s.
They fixed it in a reasonable amount of time at a decent price.
Macy’s will do jewelry repair as well.
Also there used to be a shop at the Galleria in Roseville that does jewelry Repair. I had them do a fix on a gold bracelet I have. They did right there. I have not been there for a couple of years so I do not know if they are still in business. They were on the upstairs down near Macy’s, on another side hallway.
