What's a girl to do when she needs body jewelry & a body jewelry company reaches out to her asking if she'd like to try some product? She says "Yes! Yes! Yes! A million times yes!!" When Deviant Body Jewelry* contacted me inquiring if I'd like to do a review on their products, specifically nose rings & belly rings, I was immediately intrigued.
Apparently they'd read my blog & thought I was a good fit based on my lifestyle, so I totally said yes. I chose a few items, but they sent me some extra which was a welcomed surprise. Here's what I got & here's what I thought:
First off, I was impressed with the packaging. The boxes are sleek, chic, & padded to keep all jewels safe. Everything comes in a black cardboard box. Within each box are three jewels/containers. The plastic cases are padded as well & the lids come off really easily.
Belly button dangles: (left to right) With All My Hearts, Summer Splendor, A Gift from the Heart.
The belly button dangles are by far my favorite. I am a dangle fanatic, the danglier the better. It's jewelry for your stomach; I like the accessorizing & adornment. My friend really loved the Summer Splendor butterfly one; she even said she'd be down to get a belly piercing because of it! You can't go wrong with any of these. I love them all & have worn them all. They are extremely shiny & I can't wait to show them off at Coachella. The gems pictured range from $20-$29.
Belly button non-dangles: (left to right) Rainbow Single Bottom Gem Navel Ring, Crystal Navel Ring, Blue Single Bottom Gem Navel Ring.
I'm not the biggest non-dangle belly ring fan, but the Crystal Navel Ring is my favorite. When I first got my piercing I had a similar one. However, the jewels were on the outside & kept falling off which left it looking pretty sad. This gorgeous one from Deviant has the crystal stones under a clear epoxy coating to keep it looking fab long term. No lost crystals here! The gems pictured range from $12.50 - $30.
Nose hoops: (clockwise) Purple, Black, & Steel Nose Hoops.
These nose hoops are simple & modest. Some nose hoops take forever to place but this slides right in. Although these are made from surgical steel, I'd likely opt for a cheaper alternative. I tend to lose nose rings pretty easily. The gems pictured are $11.25 each.

Nose screws: (left to right) Clear Steel Nose Screw With Press-Fit Gem Tip, Aurora Borealis Steel Nose Screw With Press-Fit Gem Tip, Clear Steel Nose Screw With Prong-Set Gem Tip, Aqua Steel Nose Screw With Prong-Set Gem Tip.
I usually am a nose ring type of girl. Although I do like non-hoops if the jewel is big enough. Like I said, body jewelry is an adornment to me, so I like to show it off. Also, if the jewel is small it tends to look like a booger or pimple. My favorite is the Aqua Steel Nose Screw With Prong-Set Gem Tip. It's the perfect size. The screws may be difficult to get into your nose at first, but with practice it becomes easier. The gems pictured range from $12.50-$13.25.

Captive bead ring: (clockwise) Steel Captive Bead Ring With Clear Press-Fit Gem Ball, Clear Black Captive Bead Ring With Press-Fit Gem Ball, Rainbow Captive Bead Ring, Blue Black Captive Bead Ring With Press-Fit Gem Ball.
These are so pretty & come in a range of colors. Initially, getting the ball back on was pretty time-consuming. My boyfriend & I each practiced taking the ball off & on; it took about 10 minutes before he could get his back on. He had to do mine because I have butterfingers. The gems pictured range from $11.25-$12.50.

I'm no fitness model, but here I'm sporting the With All My Hearts & A Gift from the Heart belly dangles. Most of the jewels come in different gauges, so it's important to know your size. Deviant has a size reference page to make sure you get the gauge & size you're looking for.
Overall, I genuinely enjoyed everything. My top picks would be Summer Splendor (& any of Deviant's belly dangles) & the Aqua Steel Nose Screw. My boyfriend asked me "So would you buy Deviant jewelry if you got the chance?" & I said "I've bought cheaper product, but Deviant's quality is superior, so yes." I can tell the quality of the material is top notch, unlike the junk I've bought on eBay that breaks after one week. Plus, they have a range of items & colors to choose from.
Do you have any piercings? Which of these body jewels look the most appealing to you? :]

Do it! I feel like I'd rather have a piercing than a weird hole (which is what it looks like when it's out). Did yours close?!
DeleteCarmen, those are really pretty. I do not have body piercings but i really like the belly button jewelry. they are so lovely and they suit you very well.
