Dainty New Jewelry

The newest of the new body jewelry that is available for this holiday season is much more refined than what we used to see in the 90’s-  pretty much a big hunk of surgical steel. This season’s body jewelry trends boast teeny weeny diamonds and jewels on much finer gauged base that allows for dressing up less than discreet piercings, such as medusa, monroe, and dimple piercings.

Swapping out the good old metal ball for a shiny speck of diamond or opal, or any other semi precious stone is a great option when keeping your very visible piercings a toned down version for the holidays.

 

Tone It Down With Gold

Aside from switching over to more delicate jewelry, another way to consider when toning down your piercings for the holidays is to choose the gold tones for your piercing jewelry. Gold based jewelry tends to blend in with skin tones in a much softer focus that traditional white gold, surgical steel or titanium. Yellow golds go great with dark or olive undertones and rose golds are simply stunning on any skin tone. Try a finer gauge jewelry in rose gold or gold for your piercings to see which gold tones look best with your skin tone.

Gold jewelry also gives any piercing instant glamour, so holiday parties are a breeze with this jewelry. Try using a set of gold hoops and studs for your constellation piercing this holiday season…you’ll be amazed at just how wearable gold toned jewelry really is. Mixing up rose golds and yellow gold is another way to give your look an elegant flare, just be sure to keep the designs simple when mixing tones.

 

Under Pinning and Nude Things

Although we’ll look from grandma approved jewelry for our visible piercings, the holidays are a great time to add some shine and sparkle to our more intimate piercings, including navel piercings. (Hey, if our visible piercing take a make under, the non visible piercings get to have some extra love) Treat yourself this holiday to nipple rings with jeweled accents and distinct designs. Piercing jewelry with the white, shimmering opal accents are a must this season, like liquid snow, it’s so fresh and beautiful. Fake the look of constellation piercings on your navel piercing with a reverse belly ring, which looks much like an inside out belly ring that adorns the skin above and around your piercing. Gold tones for intimate genital piercings are so complimenting, so swap your trustee surgical steel curved barbell or ring to gold jewelry with a CZ ball end for an extra luxurious look and feel…after all, those are your private delicate gems.

When all else fails and there is just no way to please Aunt Kate for the holiday dinner, be kind to them with acrylic retainers. Hey, it’s one day of your life so even if it’s a pain in the butt to swap out to clear or nude retainer jewelry, take one for the team to keep the peace. New flesh colored retainers make stretched ears easy to camouflage and most retainers are super affordable and widely available, it’s really good to keep a few on stock in case of events like this. Retainers have come a long, long way since they were first introduced, so give it try. It’s also great to have on hand for medical procedures since metals are not acceptable for most diagnostic imaging machines.
