Titanium Belly Bars with Sparkly Gems

Single Jewelled Titanium Belly Bar

Double Jewelled Titanium Belly Bar

Titanium Belly Bars from JoBananas Body Jewellery are top qulaity 6AL-4V Titanium, the bottom ball measures 8mm so that it sits comfortably in your navel piercing and the top ball is 5mm. The bars are available in 6mm (1/4″), 8mm (5/16″), 10mm (3/8″), 12mm (1/2″) or 14mm (9/16″)
If you are not sure what size you need have a look at our body jewellery measuring guide, it is important that you wear the correct length of jewellery in your navel piercing, if it is too tight it will pinch the skin, too long and it may catch on your clothing. Usually people are pierced with 12mm (1/2″) Belly Bars, once the swelling goes down the piercing generally settles at 10mm (3/8″) this is why we call this size “standard” on our website. However we say “usually”, please remember that everyone is individual as are navels! Sizes vary in person to person and so do piercings. You may find that over time your piercing may get shorter, in some cases growing out all together, sometimes settling at 8mm or 6mm.
Titanium is extremely popular in piercings as it is less likely to cause a hypersensitive skin reaction, it is lightweight and it is available in lots of different colours.
Titanium colours available are Highly Polished, Bronze, Brown, Ice Blue, Blue, Yellow, Peach, Pink, Purple, 2 Tone Purple Blue, Teal (Purple Green) or Rainbow.
Gen Colours are Crystal AB, Aqua AB, Rose AB, Clear, Amethyst, Aqua, Blue Zircon, Capri Blue, Peridot, Emerald, Fuchsia, Jet Black, Lilac, Pink, Sapphire, Siam Red or Topaz.
Body Jewellery Colour Charts are available on our website.
So with 5 belly bar lengths, 13 Titanium colours and 17 gem colours and a choice of single or double jewelled belly bars that gives you a staggering 2,210 options to choose from! Better still they are all in stock and ready to ship!
Don’t forget that free shipping is given on all Body Jewellery orders over £10!

Belly Bar Sets with Interchangeable Acrylic Balls

Interchangeable Belly Bar Sets with Acrylic Balls are a fantastic way to change the look of your Belly Bar without removing the bar from your navel piercing completely.  These sets are available with a 316L Surgical Steel, Gold Plated or Titanium Belly Bar (13 colours of Titanium to choose from).  You get 5 sets of acrylic balls altogether so 5 different looks can be achieved with one low price.

The belly bars are available in a choice of lengths:
6mm (1/4″)
8mm (5/16″)
10mm (3/8″)
12mm (1/2″)
14mm (9/16″)
16mm (5/8″)

If you confused as to what size you need our Body Jewellery Measuring Guide should help.  Navel Piercings are usually 1.6mm (14 Gauge) in thickness and can be anywhere between 6mm and 16mm in length.  The length of a belly bar is taken in a straight line between the two balls – the curve is not measured, nor are the balls.

People are usually pierced at 12mm – 14mm (depending on lots of factors) to allow for initial swelling, once the swelling has gone down and the navel piercing begins to heal the piercing usually settles down at 10mm – 12mm, sometimes the piercing stays at that length and sometimes the body rejects the piercing and the piercing “migrates” and gets smaller, very occasionaly growing out all together.

It is always good to wear a belly bar that fits you just right, if it is too long it may catch on your clothing and irritate the piercing, if it is too short it will cause the piercing to be sore and uncomfortable.
