Elegant and Exotic Belly Rings You Should Buy

The decision to get a belly piercing is always a bold move because some people are pretty scared to take the leap and get one. However, when you finally get your beautiful piercing, you may feel as if things are getting too redundant and don’t have as many options as other kinds of jewelry. If that is the case, it may be time for you to delve into the world of exotic and elegant belly rings.  

Are you not sure what these are? There’s a whole bunch of belly rings that you’re probably missing out on. 

Types of belly rings:

There are several belly ring styles out there but here are just a few common ones amongst the different styles that you can find out there:

• Banana bells:

This style of belly ring is currently the most popular one available. They have the standard curved structure with an 8 mm bottom ball and a 5 mm top ball. Some of them have a dangling charm or decorative bottom end, while others could be plain and simple. Users consider them comfortable to insert and easy to wear.

• Ball captive ring:

Ball captive rings or BCR belly rings are often worn by people who were pierced with captive jewelry. The shape of this belly ring is only slightly different from the standard curved barbells. Not many piercers use BCR jewelry, but it is still found in abundance, often with a decorative ball or gem bead attached to it.

• Top drop:

The top drop style or top dangle belly ring is pretty much the same as the shape of a banana bell. What sets it apart is the dangle or decoration. This is attached to the top of the piercing instead of the bottom. So, it is meant to be inserted upside down. At the free end, the ball will unscrew, and that end of your barbell needs to be inserted from the top of your piercing. A top drop belly ring is optional for most people, but it is mandatory to use these if you have the bottom rim of your belly button pierced.

• Spiral belly rings:

Like the name insists, spiral belly rings are barbells with a spiral shape. They often have the regular ball tips you find on other belly rings on both ends. However, some come with one decorative end or a dangling charm that hangs from the barbell rather than the ball. Ordinary spiral belly rings do not protrude too much and usually contain only one full revolution. Other kinds do exist but are relatively uncommon.

• Super spirals:

Super spiral belly rings are similar to spiral ones, but they have more than one complete revolution of the spiral. This can stretch from two to four revolutions, so a portion of the spiral will hang down from your belly button. You will rarely find any dangling charms on these but can find simple decorative balls quite frequently. The one downside to this look is that you may need some practice to insert the piercing, as it can only be looped to a certain extent. This is usually until the spiraled barbell meets the piercing when it is looped almost halfway.

The elegant:

A common misconception with belly rings is that people think they aren’t meant to be elegant. This is far from the truth. Belly rings can be elegant the same way earrings or necklaces can be. If you need a little help picking something out, here are a few ideas that look flawless on everyone:

• Teardrop belly button rings:

These little rings are the epitome of elegance. They have the basic shape of a classic belly button ring, but the ball on top has a little gem inserted into it. The bottom is a fixed gem that is shaped like a teardrop. You can switch this shape for any other one you like, but this one calls for the most elegance. If it is made with rose gold, it will add to the elegance.

• Grand gems with complex designs:

This belly ring is quite similar to the teardrop belly rings but with a slight difference. Instead of one simple gem, you will have a grand one with a complex design. It is much bigger and definitely stands out because of its unique design. The top ball is often small and simple in designs like this, so the bottom gem can really shine through. The best part is that you can use any number of different diamond shapes you want!

• A simple flower:

You’ll be surprised at the amount of elegance a flower can bring. With a belly ring that has a delicate flower that is either fixed or dangling, you can look both elegant and hot at the same time. Who doesn’t want to be able to do both? Trust us; when you ask anyone how your belly ring looks, they’ll say itsHot!

The exotic:

Maybe elegant jewelry isn’t your thing? Perhaps you’re looking for something different that stands out? If that’s the case, there are so many exotic belly rings for you to try. Here are a few of our favorites:

• Opal sunburst belly rings:

Opal is not a stone that you commonly see in belly rings, but it looks phenomenal on everyone. A sunburst belly ring can be plain on top, but the bottom extends to a fixed sunburst design with the opal in the center of the sun. This exotic belly ring will definitely stand out.

• An animal charm:

An animal charm can do more than you expect. You can opt for something cute like a butterfly or something detailed and artsy like a well-defined elephant. There are no limits when it comes to this. You can even pick out an abstract or exotic animal if that sounds enticing.

• Long dangling charm:

Opt for a long and dangly charm if you like standing out and want everyone to notice your belly ring. The best option is to have multiple long chains extending from the end with a gem at the end of each. There are various designs for you to choose from, but it is definitely a favorite in the world on exotic belly rings.

No matter what look you’re going for, there’s a belly ring for it. So go ahead and shop your heart out. These suggestions are a must-have in your collection.
