Hoop style body jewelry comes in two main varieties: Ball Closure Rings and Circular Barbells. Ball Closure Rings and Circular Barbells are perhaps the most popular types of piercing jewelry since they can be worn in almost any piercing.
Ball Closure Rings (BCR) consists of a ring that closes with a captive ball. The ball has a tiny indent on either side, which the ends of the ring fit into. The pressure of the ring keeps the ball in place, making the BCR one of the most secure types of jewelry. With their simple shape, ball closure rings are endlessly versatile. They come in a great choice of diameters and gauges to fit almost any body piercing
BCRs can be made from any material with sufficient rigidity to hold the ball in place. They are usually made from titanium, surgical steel, and gold. BCRs rely on the tension of the ring to keep the ball in place and can be difficult to open at first. Ring opening pliers are used to gently open the ring, allowing the ball to fall out.
Circular barbells are a similar shape to a ball closure ring but are just as easy to insert and remove as a straight barbell. The main benefit of circular barbells is that they are easy to fit and do not require the use of body jewelry pliers. They are available in a wide range of materials and colors, so it easy to coordinate your look, match them to and style, and find the right size for your needs. You can also customize your circular barbell by swapping the balls for other threaded accessories including jewel balls, spikes, brightly colored or logo balls. Circular barbells are also very comfortable to wear and lie flat against your skin.
