What's the best material for my jewellery? What the heck is press-fit jewellery? Labret or barbell, what's the difference? Here we explain everything you need to know about body jewellery, which ones are recommended for initial piercings, which ones you can use after healing, and of course some tips. But first, let's talk about materials.

Materials suitable for jewellery used in initial piercings must have excellent biocompatibility. This means they should not oxidize or chip, and should not cause allergic reactions. And they must always be autoclavable. In other words, they must be sterilizable. All jewellery for initial piercings should be accompanied by quality certificates to guarantee their biocompatibility.

Different jewellery styles have different mechanisms. Don't worry, it's quite simple to understand. We explain everything here.

Press-fit

This type of mechanisms uses tension to hold the jewellery together. Underneath the end there is a pin that, once bent, fits into the post.

1. Insert half of the pin into the post.

2. Bend the pin (the more you bend it, the tighter the fit will be).

3. Insert the entire pin into the post.​

​​4. Pull the end out of the post. If it's too tight, make a slight rotating motion.

Barbell

Circular Barbell

Barbells are the classic body jewellery and remain a mainstay of the piercing industry today. A barbell is characterized by a post with a removable end at each post end. Barbells have different names depending on their curvature.

Want to change your jewellery? It's perfectly normal to want to update your jewellery. After all, jewellery reflects your personality and state of mind. But it's important to know how to measure jewellery so you can make informed purchases. When measuring jewellery, there are three factors to consider: thickness, length, and diameter.

Thickness

To determine the thickness of the jewellery, you have to measure the thickness of the post or ring.

Length and Diameter

To determine the length of a post, you have to measure the distance between the ends. To find the diameter of a ring, you have to measure the inside distance of the ring.
