Body Jewelry Cost

Typical costs:

• Plastic -- usually acrylic -- body jewelry typically sells for $10-$30. Body jewelry earrings are often sold in sets. For example, Hot Topic sells a variety of acrylic taper and plug sets for $14-$18.
• Metal body jewelry is generally slightly more expensive than plastic body jewelry. Surgical steel, titanium and niobium are commonly used metals. Metal body jewelry costs $15-$50 per piece or set, although pieces that include gemstones cost slightly more. For example, curved barbells (for a bellybutton piercing) typically cost $15-$30, captive bead rings (for eyebrow and ears) cost $8-$30, straight barbells (for industrial and tongue piercings) cost $15-$40.
• Body jewelry made from bone is also available. The price of the jewelry often is based on the size. Small plugs typically cost $10-$20 while more ornate carved pieces cost $15-$40. Diablo Body Jewelry sells an assortment of bone pieces^[1] for $15-$20 per pair.
• Stone body jewelry is the most expensive and can cost hundreds of dollars for precious stones. For example, Kolo Piercing^[2] , an Atlanta, GA, based piercing studio, sells high-grade stones used for body jewelry, with some pairs costing as much as $180 per pair.

• Body jewelry is either sold in pairs, sets or singularly and should be in sterile packaging.

• Antiseptics should be used to clean body jewelry. For oral body jewelry, it can be cleaned with anti-bacterial mouth wash to have a better taste when it is inserted. Antiseptic cleaners and mouthwash are typically available for $3-$9.

• Retailers and online body jewelry vendors frequently have sales. For example, mall retailers such as Hot Topic and Spencer's Gift offer buy-one-get-one-free sales on body jewelry on a regular basis.
• Buying body jewelry online is often less expensive than brick-and-mortar retailers. Online stores such as Painful Pleasures^[3] and Monster Steel^[4] frequently offer clearance-prices pieces that cost less than $2.
• Amazon also sells body jewelry^[5] , including in wholesale quantities.

• Piercing Experience, a Georgia-based store, offers tips for finding a reputable seller^[6] of body jewelry.
• Hot Topic explains the different types of materials used^[7] for body jewelry and outlines which type of jewelry are typically used for various piercings.
