Body piercing jewelry is jewelry manufactured specifically for use in body piercing.
Originally hardly any other other jewelry than circular earring was used in body piercing. As the body piercing became more of a fashion a vast amount of specially crafted jewelry became available. Materials used for production have grown from traditional gold and silver to most widespread surgical steel as well as titanium, glass, several kinds of plastic, wood, silicone, ivory, tusk and others.
A labret (pronounced with a strong "T") stud is commonly used for piercings through the cheek.
