A Simple Guide to Piercing Jewellery Types

With so many different types of piercing jewellery available, understanding the basics can make choosing the right piece much easier.

Here are some of the most popular jewellery styles you'll find at PierceVerse.

Flat-Back Labrets

Flat-back labrets have a small flat disc at the back rather than a traditional ball. Their neat profile makes them a popular option for many ear and cartilage piercings.

They are commonly available as either internally threaded or threadless styles.

Threadless Jewellery

Threadless jewellery uses a push-fit system rather than a screw thread.

The decorative top contains a small pin that fits securely into the post. One of the biggest benefits of threadless jewellery is the ability to change decorative tops while keeping a compatible post.

Clicker Rings

Clickers use a hinged section that opens and clicks securely into place.

They are popular for placements such as the helix, septum and daith, depending on the size and individual piercing.

Curved Barbells

Curved barbells are commonly associated with eyebrow and belly piercings. They feature a gently curved bar with decorative or removable ends.

Captive and Circular Rings

Circular barbells, segment rings and other ring styles offer a classic piercing look and are available in everything from minimalist finishes to crystal-covered designs.

What Material Should You Choose?

Material is just as important as design.

At PierceVerse, our collections include options such as G23 titanium and 316L surgical steel, along with a variety of finishes and styles.

Always check the product description carefully for the exact material, gauge and dimensions before purchasing.
