| maggsmomm's Full Review: ZenFire Row Of Jewels Top-Down Curved Barbell NS23... |
I decided to get my belly button pierced right after my first review on body jewelry. All of my friends have belly button rings and I wanted to collect them too! I now have over 20 different rings in my ever growing collection!
This was a gift from a coworker for Mother's Day. The "Row Of Jewels" come in different colors (Topaz, Cubic, And Navy or Sapphire) set in sterling silver with four large round stones, a 14 gauge curved bar made of surgical steel, with a larger than average ball.
The difference between these and other belly rings is this one hangs OVER the top of your belly button not under. You insert the ring through the TOP of your belly button and attach its ball through the underside on the bottom. The top part of the ring is stationary, meaning it cannot be twisted off unlike most rings where both pieces of jewelry can be removed completely from their bar.
Its a great look if your wearing something that shows off your tummy, but can be quite painful if your clothing is to snug and/or close to the gems. They have a tendency to "snag" and therefore pull on the ring.
I definitely recommend these for a great look especially at night, but for every day wear I would set it aside.
The only problem I have with this particular ring and others with gems is they tend to come out of their setting after a while. Use care when bathing, swimming, or wearing tight fitting clothing. All of these seem to loosen the setting and results in a loss of a stone or stones.
As with all body jewelry, when you get it home, remember to wash it with anti bacterial soap before inserting it and clean it daily with antibacterial soap and use sea salt to keep your new piercing clean and free from infection.
