Body Jewelry Online

Body jewelry is available at a lot of online shops, from wholesale outlets to auction sites and beyond. You can find body jewelry in the most unlikely places, but you’re probably better off sticking to the most popular sites, at least at first. Here are some places that sell body jewelry online.

• Wholesale Jewelry Outlets

There are hundreds of online shops that sell jewelry wholesale. Many of these specialize in body jewelry. If you shop at a wholesaler, expect to find a huge variety of jewelry—they’ll have many different sizes, colors, and shapes. A drawback is that many of the better wholesalers will only sell their pieces in bulk.

• In-Person Jewelry Shops With a Website

Many of the larger and more reputable tattoo and piercing parlors have an online component. These will be more expensive than the wholesalers, but more likely to sell you a single piece.

• Auction Sites

If you’re careful, you might find a great body jewelry bargain at an online auction. Make sure the seller knows the quality of the metal. On auction sites, you’re more likely to get good-quality body jewelry from a store that uses the auction site. An individual seller selling from home is less reliable.

• Before You Shop…

Remember that it’s often better to go see a jeweler in person to talk one-on-one and get an expert opinion. Don’t count out the jewelry stores and tattoo parlors in your town, if any are available.

• After You Receive Your Jewelry…

If this is going to be your first piece of body jewelry, you will need to get the body piercing before you wear it. Do not try to do the piercing yourself! It’s great that you went online and found the one-of-a-kind item you could never get at the mall, but head to the mall to get it put in.
