Jewelry for Braid Piercings

While many different decorations and jewelry styles may be used for braid piercings, experiences prove that body jewelry works the best. After all, jewelry specially designed for body piercings is made to be comfortable and to stay in place securely. Both of these things are important for braid piercings because you don’t want to hurt yourself if your braid touches your face, neck or another part of your body.

Also, it is important that the jewelry used is reliable and well-crafted, especially when it comes to staying in place. Hair is very unreliable when it comes to texture: it can get tangled and detangled, and it makes it difficult to keep anything in place when attached on the hair. Body jewelry serves good for this purpose because it is designed to be closed tightly and to stay in place. In addition to this, body jewelry also tends to be light enough not to become overwhelming, which also helps, especially if you want to wear numerous braid rings or other jewelry pieces.

As for the style, classic Captive Bead Rings (CBR) work good for braid piercings, though you need to be extra careful how you open and close them so you don’t lose the ball. These rings may seem simple but they are very effective. If you want something fancier, choose a CBR with a colorful bead.

If you wish to avoid thinking about the beads, choose a different type of a ring. Screwball rings and Fixed bead rings will work great for pierced braids since they are very easy to put on and there is no way to lose the bead since it’s attached to the ring.

If you prefer a more seamless jewelry without a bead you should go after segment and seamless rings. These rings are made of segments that fit perfectly together so there is no bead. A closed ring looks like a perfect, seamless circle, which is a good choice for pierced braids jewelry.

For super-special moments, choose one of the gold rings to make your styling complete. Gold rings look very stylish and are great for more formal occasions when you wish to look elegant but trendy.
