A little background...

Navel piercing has been around since ancient times, but it wasn’t always for the masses.  The tradition of piercing the belly button goes back to  to ancient times and was usually reserved for the ruling class or nobility. For example, in ancient Egypt, only members of the royal family were allowed to have pierced belly buttons, on penalty of death!   In our own culture belly button piercing – as with other forms of body piercing – has been a controversial subject considered outside the mainstream of society. However, in the last few years it has become much more widely accepted in society.

A notable change in the perception of body piercing came a few years ago when high fashion models displayed their navel piercings on the catwalk, creating a tremendous explosion in public interest. This opened up a new realm of possibilities for people who had never before considered belly button jewelry as a fashion option.   Today, you can see many celebrity entertainers, sports stars, dancers, and models publicly sporting beautiful navel jewelry, and this has led to a new wave of belly button piercings worldwide. 

Despite the being called belly button or navel piercing, it is somewhat of a misnomer, as the actual navel is not pierced . The most common form of navel piercing is through the upper rim of the navel. The navel is usually initially pierced with a barbell until the piercing has fully healed, which can take from several months to up to 4 years.

For many people, wearing gold body jewelry is a sensual experience.   Adorning the navel with gold belly button rings and jewelry has of late become very popular, and continues to grow in popularity each year. Whether your interest in belly button rings stems from the desire to be fashionable, feel more sexy, or be worn as a status symbol, popular demand has increased the number of piercing studios and choices in gold body jewelry.

Gold Belly Button Rings

There is a lot of choice when it comes to belly button rings.   Many people prefer the traditional gold-colored belly button rings because of its status, beauty and sensuality. Gold jewelry is an alloy of gold, in which other metals are added to gold to make it harder and more durable.   Prices vary, depending on several factors including karot (kt) grade (10 kt, 14 kt, 18 kt etc.), thickness (gauge), manufacturer, and design components to name a few. 10 kt gold has less gold and more alloy than 14 kt gold; 18 kt gold has less gold than 22 kt.   24 kt gold is considered “pure” gold, but it is too soft and malleable for most jewelry and is therefore not often used. 

White Gold Belly Button Rings

Some people prefer gold that is white in color, known as “white gold” although technically there is no such thing as white gold in itself.   All gold in its natural state is yellow in color; it is the type and amount of alloy metal combined with the gold that gives the gold its various shades of whiteness.   To make it white, gold is typically combined with metals such as nickel, palladium, or platinum, and is almost always plated with rhodium to give it a more white appearance. 

If your budget is tight, you will may wish to go with a lower karot grade gold ring, such as 10kt or 14 kt, which will cost less than a higher karot grade such as 18kt or 22kt. Whatever kind of gold belly ring you decide to go with, it’s important that you carefully check product descriptions for each item, including sizing, materials, etc. as many retailers will not accept returns of body jewelry except for manufacturers defect or an ordering/shipping error.
