The Pebble
This design is a dainty, minimal belly button ring. By choosing your gauge, stone, and size you can give this jewelry a tailored custom fit for your belly that you can be proud to show off. This belly ring is designed to be low profile and very discrete, yet classy and appealing- not over bearing or gaudy.
How it works:
The ring (both my belly rings and the small 6 mm ring on my barbell ring closures) opens and shuts by bending the ends open in a 'twisting' or rotating motion (tutorial instructions included with purchase) rather than 'pulling' the two ends away from each other. The twisting motion allows the two ends to be bent away from each other with the ends going in a 'north to south' direction rather than an 'east to west' direction. The 'north to south' direction lets the ring keep its overall integrity and keeps the shape intact (for more information please see my tutorial link above). The opposite end of the ring has been smoothed and filed for easy placement and is secure enough to stay in place.
(*Note- for best results, please refrain from holding the bezel setting and stone when bending the ring open and shut to avoid damage)
Sizing:
The design is done in the following diameters depending on the thickness of the wire. As the wire gets thicker, the diameter will naturally become larger, which is more accommodating for easier bending as well. Depending on the gauge thickness you choose please see the following diameters below:
20 Gauge: 7-8 mm diameter
18 Gauge: 8-9 mm diameter
16 Gauge: 9.5-10 mm diameter
14 Gauge: 10-11 mm diameter
If you would like a different diameter please contact me or write me a note at checkout (example; so if for some reason you find you prefer a 20 gauge but need it 9.5-10 mm instead, then select the 20 gauge and include a note for me at time of purchase)

Some details about The Pebble;
* You may order this belly ring in .999 fine silver, 14k gold-fill, or solid yellow gold throughout. I can do other metals such as rose gold or white gold on request (prices may vary)
*You may order this in either a 20 gauge, 18 gauge, 16 gauge or 14 gauge (a 14 gauge is a bigger/thicker post and is typically what is standard with your initial piercing). A 16 gauge is popular especially with those that want to move down to a more minimal, thinner post gauge.
*Gauge thickness measure as follows;
20 gauge: .812 mm
18 gauge: 1.02 mm
16 gauge: 1.29 mm
14 gauge: 1.63 mm
*You may choose your preferred 3 mm stone in the variety of cabochon options in the drop down menu above

Please know that all my pieces are 100% handmade and designed from start to finish by myself and take me time to assemble when it comes to putting the metals together from scratch to the ending product of my high buff polish. I sterilize before packaging them up nicely to get them to your door, so my prices reflect this. I pride myself on craftsmanship; it is important for me to offer what I love to do to you at what I feel is an affordable price while still giving you a quality piece of jewelry - Enjoy!
