How to style: Seam Rings
Being creative with classic body jewelry silhouettes...
Classic, timeless, affordable, and stocked in nearly every studio. Seam rings are a studio classic that everyone can love, piercers and clients alike. Sometimes, though, we can overlook the endless styling possibilities of this timeless design.
Our favorite thing about seam rings are the endless diameter options, making it the perfect fit for any piercing placement. You can easily dress up all your piercings with perfectly fitting seam rings for a cohesive, timeless look, or add charms and chains for tons of movement, and don’t even get us started on ring stacking!
The best trick to get a totally unique styling is to visit your local body piercer and make a plan with them. With that said, we know people like to plan ahead of time and that’s likely why you’re here in this blog. The internet is full of inspiration and ideas, though sometimes hard to find.

Perfectly fit to any piercing simple seam rings are a stunning way to dress up all your piercing cohesively.
Stay True Body Piercing (@StayTrueBodyPiercing) styled these stunning ears with all yellow gold seam rings!
Each ring a perfect fit to the piercings individual placement. Seam rings hold the added benefit of coming in numerous sizes to accommodate anatomy.
Definitely Double Up!
Do double up on those seam rings! In studio we love to see a double helix with fitted seam rings. However there are plenty of other piercings to double up on and style with seam rings.
Anatomy specific double ups such as double daith piercings or even double rooks look amazing styled with seam rings. On the more non-traditional piercing side, orbitals are not only unique but they initially are pierced with rings.
Once healed doubling up on seam rings add visual interest as well as extra shine.
Seam Rings let the piercing placement do the talking!
Triple nostril means triple rings according to @GrumblesPiercings, and we agree!
Talk to your local body piercer about what your unique anatomy can accommodate. These seam rings let the placement do the talking while
complimenting other decorative jewelry pieces. High polish seam rings are a wonderful way to sparkle and shine for both the minimalist and maximalist.

Navel Piercing + Seam Rings = STUNNING
We hear the term “belly ring” tossed around but rarely are people talking about actual rings. So consider this your formal invitation to try something different.
The average navel piercing is a 14g curved barbell. This means you could stack 2-3 20g seam rings in your average navel piercing without stretching.
Utilizing classic seam rings you can mix metals with ease or frame a decorative center ring. If you want more length you could add charms or chains!
Take this navel styling from Royal Stone (@RoyalStone) where they utilized our side set Princess Bride decorative seam ring in combination with our triple Lost Boys charm!
These are two pieces that can be easily repurposed for other piercings later on when you want to mix up your jewelry style!
Don’t be scared to go more elaborate with seam rings either.
Stay True Body Piercing (@StayTrueBodyPiercing) knocked it out of the park with this interlocking seam ring stacked navel!
