The spider isn't part of the main stud; it dangles from a short, fine chain. This means it has a bit of independent movement from the barbell, catching the light as you walk or turn. It's a small detail you feel more than you see.
This is a belly piercing made of 14K solid gold, polished to a mirror finish. The curved barbell has a small sphere on top and a larger one at the bottom. From the bottom sphere hangs a short cable chain, and at its end, a spider charm. The spider is detailed, with eight distinct legs and a raised body, all coated in a metallic, almost iridescent blue.
The barbell and chain are made from 14 Karat solid gold, which means they're 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength. It's a durable material that won't flake, discolour, or tarnish, even with daily wear. Because it's solid gold and nickel-free, it's a good choice for healed piercings and won't bother sensitive skin. The spider charm is finished with a tough, coloured coating to give it its deep blue sheen.
- Material: 14K solid gold

You pick this piece for the contrast. It has the classic warmth and weight of a solid gold barbell, but the dangling spider in that cool, metallic blue is unexpected. It sits in a place between a standard gem belly ring and something more overtly alternative.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the blue colour on the spider of my 14k gold belly piercing chip or fade?
The blue is a durable coating applied to the charm, designed to hold its colour through regular wear. Like any coated jewellery, it's best to avoid scraping it against hard surfaces or exposing it to harsh chemicals. With normal care, the colour will last.
Can I shower or go swimming with the Blue Spider Piercing in?
Yes, you can shower in it. The 14K solid gold won't be damaged by water. We do suggest taking it out for pools and hot tubs, though. The chlorine and other chemicals used in them can be harsh and may dull the spider's blue coating over time.
How do I know if this 1.25mm belly piercing will fit my navel piercing?
The 1.25mm thickness, which is a 16 gauge, is a very common size for navel piercings. If you were pierced with a standard needle, this will likely fit perfectly. If you're unsure, you can always ask your piercer what gauge you wear.
