Body Jewelry Plug : What is it?

Body Jewelry Plugs

Body jewelry plugs are jewelry pieces inserted through the skin using rods, usually through the earlobes as substitutes for earrings. They are held securely in place by two rubber rings, one lying on each side. Body jewelry plugs are made of different materials, and they available in a wide selection of styles and designs.

Types of Body Jewelry Plugs

Body Jewelry PlugsBody Jewelry Plugs

Kinds of Body Jewelry Plugs include the following:

Amber body jewelry plugs

These types of body jewelry plugs are made of amber, a semi-translucent material that enables light to penetrate through it. Many prefer them for their ethereal quality. Some models are manufactured with fossilized bugs for durability and preservation.

Wood body jewelry plugs

Wood body jewelry plugs are handcrafted resilient hardwood (maple, birch, walnut, oak, and cherry). They are generally durable but porous, making them prone to bacterial growth.  These types of plugs require constant cleaning and sterilizing. They are not ideal for body piercings that are still healing.

Horn body jewelry plugs

Horn body jewelry plugs are made from animal horns, keratins, or other materials composed of calcium carbonate. Some models are made with coconut wood or amber inlays.They are usually hand-carved into intricate shapes. Like wood jewelry plugs, they require maintenance.

Stone body jewelry plugs

Stone jewelry plugs are made of natural stones. Some models have inlays of contrasting stones. They are available in different colors, shapes, and patterns.

Choosing Body Jewelry Plugs (Buying tips)

Materials used. Choose a body jewelry plug made from a hygienic material that does not harbor the growth of bacteria. If your ear piercing is still healing, get a body jewelry plug made of surgical stainless steel that is safe for sensitive skin.
