Popular earrings/Ear Piercing Jewelleries

With all the different ear piercing locations, you must also get the right type of ear accessory as well. This is important in order to avoid damaging the other tissues in your ear. Therefore, choosing the perfect ear piercing jewellery for your puncture is very essential. Here are the different types of ear piercing jewelleries that you can use to accessorize and to express yourself through these punctures.

One of the most popular ear piercing jewelleries is the captive bead ring. The CBR is actually popular in different names such as the captive hoop or the ball closure ring. There are also some times that the CBR is called as the captive ball ring as well. Aside from having a variety in names, the CBR is also considered as the most common ear piercing jewellery at the same time. The said popular earring can fit in a very small opening which is located at a certain part of the earring’s circle. The size of the bead is actually bigger than the opening so that it can perfectly lock the ear accessory and prevent it from falling.

On the other hand, there is also what they call as the barbell earrings. It got its name simply because it looks like the barbells that are commonly found in gyms or the ones that are used by the weight lifters. Just like the name says, the barbell earring is made up of straight bar having beads on both ends. However, one of the two beads can be unscrewed. This would allow the person to remove the bead so he can change or clean it. The other bead is fixed by using an epoxy or it can be welded as well. Four kinds of barbell earrings can be purchased namely the circular barbells, curved barbells, externally threaded barbells, and the internally threaded barbells.

Of course, there is also the ever popular stud earring as well. This is a simple earring that looks like it is floating on the earlobe or other parts of the ear where it was punctured. More often than not, studs are used at the earlobes or at the helix/cartilage of the ear. Aside from that, stud earring is the common jewellery that is used to pierce a certain part of the ear for the first time simply because it can easily penetrate when used. It is important that you make sure that the screw that is securing the stud earring in place is secured. This would help you avoid losing the stud earring especially if it is quite expensive.

You can also have plug earrings as your ear jewellery at the same time. Also known as the earplug, this is the type of ear accessory that has been long used by the tribes who are into ear piercing. Unlike the first few mentioned jewelleries, the plug earring is only used if you have a bigger-gauged piercing in the ear. Various materials were used in creating plug earrings such as wood, metal, acrylic glass, stone, silicon, and even bones.

Lastly, is the flesh tunnel that has been circulating for thousands of years already. The flesh tunnel earring or the spool is a great ear accessory that would show how far your ear piercing has been stretched.
