Start With the Right Jewelry

To DIY your piercing jewelry, it helps to have jewelry with jump rings already attached. These little rings make it super easy to add charms or pendants. You can find jump ring styles on pieces like:

  • Eyelets
  • Labrets
  • Septum rings and more

Look for jewelry that already includes a jump ring, or add one yourself if necessary.

Tip: Make sure the charm is lightweight and body-safe, especially if you're wearing it in a fresh or sensitive piercing.


Don’t Have an Open Jump Ring?

If your charm's ring can't be opened, no problem. You’ll just need an extra jump ring to connect everything. These are super easy to work with, and you can even buy small packs of them online or at a craft store.

How to Connect It All Together

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to DIY your jewelry:

  1. Grab a pair of jewelry pliers. You’ll need them to open and close the jump ring.
  2. Open the jump ring. Gently twist it open sideways (don’t pull it apart).
  3. Add your charm or pendant to the open jump ring.
  4. Attach the jump ring to the jewelry’s existing jump ring or wherever it fits best.
  5. Use the pliers to close the jump ring. Make sure it’s closed tightly so the charm doesn’t fall off.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Always make sure your tools and jewelry are clean before working with them.
  • Don’t overload your piercing with heavy charms—keep it light!
  • Be gentle if your piercing is still healing. Wait until it’s fully healed before modifying your jewelry.

 

 

DIYing your body jewelry is a fun and easy way to show off your personality. Whether you’re adding a tiny star charm to your labret or a spooky skull to your plugs, it’s all about making it your own.
