A Guide to Different Types of Piercing Rings
Captive Bead Rings (CBR)
Captive Bead Rings, abbreviated as CBR, are hoop body jewelry rings that connect at a center point through a metal bead. The center bead has side indentions to secure to the ring. You can then pop the center bead out of the ring to "open and close" it or take it on and off. As you get larger gauge sizes for CBR's, the tighter the bead can get. You may require Piercing Jewelry Opening Pliers for CBR gauges 4ga and up! Our Captive Bead Rings come in all materials and colors including Hot Pink, Green, Black, Blue and more!
Seamless Clicker Rings-
Seamless Clicker Rings have hinges that literally CLICK when secured closed. These rings come in sizes 20 gauge (0.8mm) all the way up to over 0 gauge (8mm)! They snap secure so you can wear these rings all day long and even to sleep! They are one of the most common rings used for Septum Piercings because the convenience of their secure closing! Just like Captive Bead Rings, as you get larger gauge size rings, you may require Ring Opening and Closing Pliers as they get pretty hard to open with your fingers!You can wear these in most piercings and they come in Stainless Steel, 14k Solid Gold, Rose Gold, Blackline, Implant Grade Titanium and so much more!
Horseshoe Barbells-
Horseshoe Barbells, another popular body jewelry ring used in many piercing placements! This 'U' shaped ring consists of two ends that are either threaded (screw on) or non threaded (threadless). We've seen these rings with Ball Ends, Spike Ends, and even Butterfly Ends! This is one of the most classic rings that we've seen in alternative styles. Now a day we have Horseshoe Barbells that go all the way up to gauges 00! That's 10mm! Grab one in 14 Karat Solid Gold to last you a lifetime!
Bendable Hoops-
Bendable Hoops are exactly what they sound like. They're hoops that bend! They're popular for nose piercings since you can bend them to fit just right! They are commonly made out of Stainless Steel and are usually very thin! These lightweight and thin rings are more suitable for smaller piercings and are not too secure for stretched ears or septum piercing. Because they can bend and are usually super thin, they can easily bend out of shape. Your circular hoop may become an oval if you keep rubbing your nose piercing!
Segment Rings-
