Butterfly belly bars feature delicate butterfly-shaped designs on implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) curved barbells, adding a playful and feminine detail to your navel piercing. Every butterfly belly bar at Camden Body Jewellery is made from the same medical-grade titanium used in surgical implants — completely nickel-free, biocompatible and safe for both fresh and healed belly button piercings.
Butterfly designs in this collection include CZ gem-set butterfly wings that catch the light, polished titanium butterfly silhouettes, and coloured stone butterflies in opal and crystal variations. All are mounted on 14G (1.6mm) curved barbells — the standard gauge for navel piercings — designed to follow the natural curve of the belly button for comfortable, secure wear.
The lightweight nature of titanium is especially important for decorative belly bars. Butterfly designs tend to have more surface area than simple ball-end barbells, and titanium ensures this extra detail does not add uncomfortable weight that could pull on the piercing. The metal is fully waterproof and will not react with sweat, sunscreen or clothing friction.
Butterfly belly bars are available in natural polished titanium as well as PVD-coated gold, rose gold and black finishes. PVD bonds colour permanently to the titanium surface, so the butterfly detailing maintains its finish through daily wear, exercise and swimming.
Care
During healing, wear loose clothing around the waist to prevent the butterfly charm from catching on fabric. Clean with sterile saline spray twice daily. Once healed, butterfly belly bars can be swapped freely with other navel jewellery styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are butterfly belly bars heavier than plain belly bars?
Butterfly designs have more surface area but are still lightweight because they are made from titanium, which is approximately 40% lighter than steel. The weight difference compared to a plain ball-end belly bar is minimal.
Can I wear a butterfly belly bar in a new piercing?
Most piercers recommend healing with a simple curved barbell first. Once your navel piercing is fully healed (6 to 12 months), you can switch to a decorative butterfly belly bar.
