If your girlfriend is into piercings, there’s no better way to say you love her on a holiday than by giving her a new piece of body jewelry to add to her collection. Women’s body jewelry can sometimes be hard for men to figure out, though it’s not hard to appreciate! The ladies of Lavari are here to help you choose the perfect women’s body jewelry pieces to wow her this year. Read on for our comprehensive guide!
The first thing any guy should take into consideration before buying women’s body jewelry for his boo is: where does your girlfriend have piercings? If you get your girlfriend a belly ring and she doesn’t have a belly piercing, she will have to go out and get her belly pierced in order to enjoy your gift. That would make your fun present into a hassle. Plus, another question might be what the season will be when you give her this gift. A toe ring when she can’t wear sandals for months might not be the best Christmas gift. Besides, you want your girlfriend to be able to put on the body jewelry you get her when she opens it up, so you can see how it looks right then and there!

Another question is what your girlfriend’s basic style looks like. If you know she loves gold women’s body jewelry, you can go for that immediately and skip the choice of whether to go for gold, sterling silver, or what-have-you. And if you know she likes bars, labrets, or hoops, then you can go for her favorite design without wondering about studs and horseshoes. Anything you know right off the bat, can be the jumping-off point for starting your body jewelry search. As you might have noticed so far in your shopping, there’s a lot of choices, so narrowing things down even a little bit will probably be pretty helpful!
Are you sitting there thinking you don’t have any of the answers to these questions? No sweat! Guys don’t always notice the finer details of a girl’s style, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late. Next time you hang out with her, take a look at what she’s wearing and see if you can spot any patterns in her choices of metal, how flashy her jewelry is, or where she likes to wear her body jewelry. If you scope her jewelry out and notice that she always wears moon-shaped women’s body jewelry, then you’ve got your idea right there!
Crop tops are huge right now, even in the colder months, so the all-around year-long best holiday gift might just be the women’s belly ring. It’s a great way to show your girlfriend you pay attention to her style, and her chiseled abs. Another benefit of the belly ring is that your girlfriend can show skin without it being too much–it’s not like a belly ring is a nipple ring, after all! Since crop tops are so popular at the moment, your girlfriend will probably already be pretty comfortable showing some tummy skin, though if you’ve noticed she never does that might be a reason to try one of our facial women’s body jewelry options instead.
Lavari’s universal hoop is great for a belly ring, or you can go for one of our more complicated options to go all out for your boo. A top mount belly ring is basically a vertical line that sits on top of your girlfriend’s belly button, giving her something different from the hoops and studs that are more common. You can give her an even cooler shape with this spiraling lotus flower belly ring! You also have the choice between simple metallic belly rings or belly rings that add some sparkle with diamonds and other gems. Beach days will never be the same once your girlfriend is wearing Lavari women’s body jewelry with her bikini!
For the wildest girls out there, a women’s nipple ring will make it clear that she’s a rock star. She might not be showing this one off at every opportunity, but it’s easy to wear a T-shirt with thin material and let the outline of a nipple ring be a suggestive accent to the outfit. There might not be many people who get a real eyeful of this piece of women’s body jewelry, but that might be for the best. The point of a nipple ring is to tease, after all! Since they’re simpler, a universal hoop or a horseshoe are two of the main styles.
Like we said, your girl can wear this type of women’s body jewelry with thin shirts, bikinis, or anything else that lets the outline peek through. As your girlfriend is probably aware, she’s going to need to wait till your couple’s trip to the nude beach to get any cheekier! This is a great gift for a girl who either gets wild all the time or who takes a few weekends a year to just totally let loose. After all, a gift is supposed to be special, so if she wears it only for a few special occasions she’ll still love it the way she would if you gave her something she could show off every day. Basically, what we’re saying is not to ask your girlfriend to try a nipple ring on for you when she opens it on Christmas Day at her parents’ house.
I mean, think about it: would you want to wear a crop top every day? What happens after you eat at Chipotle? If your girl doesn’t want that kind of pressure, she can put some sparkle on her septum with a universal hoop, or she can go for a stud with one of her favorite gems. Unless you know your girlfriend doesn’t want to draw attention to her nose for whatever reason, this is a pretty solid option–and like we said above, if you hear her directly, she doesn’t have a nose piercing or doesn’t like wearing nose rings, then just check out the other sweet women’s body jewelry pieces we’re featuring in this guide!
Earrings might sound like a more basic form of women’s body jewelry, but cartilage earrings prove that wrong! Just like the simpler earrings that go in a lobe piercing, these body jewelry pieces can come in a variety of shapes. Depending on your girlfriend’s style, she might be more into a sassy XO cartilage piercing, or maybe if she’s all about stargazing you could get her a moon or a star cartilage earring. These types of women’s cartilage earrings are pretty straightforward since they’re in many ways an expansion of the more common types of ear jewelry.
The great part of a cartilage earring is how your girlfriend can use it to mix and match! If you know a girl who has tons of earrings, you can give her even more ways to show them all off when you add them to her cartilage collection. A cartilage earring and studs are a great look, not to mention cartilage and a bunch of dangly earrings dripping downward. All in all, your girl’s ears are going to be the center of attention anywhere you two go when you add to her women’s body jewelry collection with a cartilage earring.
A Monroe style labret looks great on just about anyone, and your girlfriend will be no exception. The upscale class of a labret style lip ring will make your girlfriend’s body jewelry a standout in the crowd of any punk show. Plus, this is the kind of sharp and sleek lip ring that can be worn to a fair number of formal occasions too, so she can be the wild child on your arm at your office Christmas party in this women’s lip ring. Out of all the possibilities when it comes to women’s body jewelry, this one might be the most versatile.
Your girlfriend might love a lip ring if you notice her wearing the same stud all the time. A lot of people get a lip piercing and then leave in the stud from the original piercing most of the time–it’s an easy way to make women’s body jewelry part of a daily outfit shuffle. When you give her something more special to wear in her lip piercing, she’s going to feel like you add as much sparkle to her life as her new labret does!
Toe Rings
Toe rings are best for summer wear since your girlfriend will want to show them off barefoot. You can always give your girlfriend a toe ring for a winter holiday and have her wear it around the house, but it’s probably going to look its best on the deck of a cruise ship or with sand between her toes. That means this piece of women’s body jewelry might make more sense for a summer birthday, or another warm-weather occasion where she can slip her shoes right off to try it on.
