Collection: Silver Belly Bars

Silver belly bars at Camden Body Jewellery are made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium with a natural silver finish, providing a hypoallergenic and tarnish-free option for navel piercings. All belly bars in this collection are 14G (1.6mm), the standard gauge for navel piercings. Titanium is a more reliable choice than sterling silver for belly bars because it does not oxidise against skin, will not cause reactions in sensitive tissue, and the finish remains consistent even in a placement exposed to clothing, sweat, and movement.

The collection includes curved barbells with a variety of top and bottom end combinations: CZ stone ends in multiple stone cuts and sizes, flat disc ends, and dangling charm ends for those who prefer more decorative pieces. All ends are threaded and interchangeable, so the top ball or charm can be swapped independently without changing the bar itself. Bars are available in standard navel sizing.

Silver belly bars are a classic choice for the navel piercing, reading as clean and versatile whether worn with casual or more styled outfits. The polished titanium silver finish catches light in the same way sterling silver would, without any of the maintenance required to keep sterling silver looking its best. For anyone who has experienced reactions or discolouration from cheaper belly bars, the switch to implant-grade titanium makes a significant difference.

Navel piercings are one of the slower-healing body piercings, typically taking between 6 months and a full year to heal. Keep the area clean with sterile saline spray, avoid submerging the piercing in pools or open water during healing, and choose clothing that does not press directly against the bar. Once healed, titanium belly bars can be worn indefinitely without removal for maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are silver belly bars made from sterling silver?

No. Silver belly bars at Camden Body Jewellery are made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium with a natural silver colour. Titanium is a better choice for belly bars than sterling silver because it will not tarnish against the skin, is completely nickel-free, and is the material recommended by professional piercers for this placement.

What gauge are belly bars?

Standard belly bars are 14G (1.6mm). This is the gauge most piercers use for navel piercings. Always confirm the gauge of your piercing before purchasing a replacement bar, as using a thinner bar in a 14G channel can cause the jewellery to move and slow healing.

How long do belly piercings take to heal?

Navel piercings typically take between 6 months and 1 year to heal fully. The navel is a surface piercing in an area subject to movement and clothing pressure, which can extend healing compared to cartilage or lobe piercings. Keep the area clean with sterile saline spray throughout the full healing period and avoid tight waistbands over the bar.

Can titanium belly bars get wet?

Titanium itself is completely waterproof and unaffected by water. During healing, however, you should avoid submerging the piercing in pools, hot tubs, or open water as these can introduce bacteria to an open wound. Once healed, titanium belly bars can be worn in the shower and pool without any risk of damage to the jewellery.

How do I change a belly bar?

Unscrew the top ball or decorative end anticlockwise while holding the curved bar steady from below. Once the top end is removed, slide the bar out from above. To insert a new bar, guide the curved end through from below and screw the top on clockwise until secure. Only change a belly bar once the piercing is fully healed to avoid disrupting the healing channel.
