Different types of jewellery and how to remove them.
There are three basic styles of body jewellery and many variations
on those styles. The three styles are a bead ring (fig.A), captive
bead (fig.B), and circular barbell/barbell (fig.C).
There is never any need to cut body jewellery for removal. Even
momentary removal of jewellery from a healing piercing can result in
amazingly rapid closure of the piercing, and make reinsertion
difficult or impossible. Removal of jewellery in the presence of an
infection may result in an abscess. In the event there is a
localized, draining infection, quality jewellery should be left in
place to allow for passage of matter to the surface.

Fig. A
On a bead ring, the bead is attached to one side of the
ring. To open the ring for removal, simply twist the ring
open. Grasp the ring on each side of the bead, pull gently
and one end will pop out of the bead. By pushing one end
away from you and pulling the other end toward you to open
the ring like a spiral.

Fig. B
On a captive bead ring, the bead is held in by the
tension of the ring. Grasp the ring with one hand as close
to the bead as you can and with the other hand grasp the
bead. Gently pull the ring and bead in opposite directions
and the bead should snap out of the ring. Twist the ring a
little (as in opening a bead ring) and rotate the jewellery
to remove the ring.

Fig. C
Barbells and circular barbells have threaded ends which
can be unscrewed. Like most threaded objects, they tighten
to the right and loosen to the left. On this type of
jewellery one or both of the ends will come unscrewed.

Ring Expanding Pliers or External Snap Ring Pliers can be
used to spread a ring open enough to pop a bead in or out.
Place the head of the pliers inside of the ring and gently
squeeze on the handle to spread the jaws outward, opening
the ring just enough to pop the ball out.
