WELCOME TO BODY JEWELRY @ 1bigWorld.com

The purpose of this section is to simplify ordering procedures for those who only have
a vague idea about body piercing (silver jewelry wholesalers, jewelry store owners…)
We want to facilitate your choice so that you'll pick real hot sellers and reorder again and
again. To achieve this goal, we must first talk to you about measurements,
material and styles of jewelry. Spend a few minutes reading this page and you will find
ordering body jewelry much easier than you thought.

MEASUREMENTS
Two systems are used to measure body jewelry: Metric and Imperial.
The metric system uses millimeters while the Imperial one uses gauges and inches.
As default, we use millimeters throughout the catalog. For those of you who are
more familiar with the Imperial system, please refer to the conversion chart below or.

GAUGE
It is the size of the stem on most pieces of jewelry. Basically, it's the size hole
people need to insert a piece of jewelry.

TIP
1.0 and 1.2 mm jewelry is mostly used for eyebrow piercing. 1.6mm is the starting point for most piercing like the tongue or the navel. Larger sizes are used to enlarge holes. This is a gradual process.

STYLES
Piercing Jewelry can be separated into eight categories

BALL CLOSURE RINGS
BCR's can be used with most piercings. They are the most common item of jewelry. Ball closure rings are used for initial piercing as they are easy to rotate in a fresh piercing, thus making them easy to clean.

BARBELLS
Barbells are mostly used for tongue piercings but can also be used for nipple piercings. Micro barbells (1.2 Gauge) are used for eyebrows.

BANANAS
The most popular of all piercing jewelry, bananas are used mostly for navel piercings even though they look nice when worn as earrings. Micro bananas (1.2 mm Gauge) are used for eyebrows.

CIRCULAR BARBELLS
The main purpose of circular barbells are to be used on nipple piercings but as with most piercings jewelry. they look fine in the ears.

SPIRALS
Body spirals are relatively new in the piercing industry. They are mostly seen as navel jewelry.

LABRETS
Labrets are used for both lower and upper lip piercings as well as for the ears. In longer length, they can even be used for tongue piercings.

HARDWARE
not exactly mainstream jewelry but increasingly popular, we classify as hardware all
jewelry that has a larger gauge. Most of that jewelry is used to enlarge ear holes.
On this site, you'll see some jewelry going up to 22 mm diameter gauge. mostly plugs, ear tubes and tunnels

ORDERING
Unfortunately, we require a minimum Order of 200 USD excluding shipping charges. There is
also a 5 pieces per item requirement.

Ordering by E-mail : info@1bigWorld.com





We definitely prefer e-mail orders over faxed ones. You can download a Microsoft Excel order form
from the site and send it as an attachment to your e-mail. If you write the order yourself please use
one line per item. When writing the quantity per item, do not forget to mention whether you want mix
colors or each color as it gets confusing sometimes.

EX : 20 pcs mix BLJ jeweled barbells 1.6 x 16 x 6 peridot, red, purple

EX : 20 pcs each BLJ jeweled barbells 1.6 x 16 x 6 peridot, red, purple

When ordering, let us know your preferred method of shipping (FedEx, DHL, or EMS),
your shipping address and telephone number.

We will prepare/process the order and send you a proforma invoice with our bank details
and the total amount to be transferred. You'll pay only for what we can supply immediately.
We will not keep a back order unless you ask us to do it. Once the transfer is made,
simply fax us the bank transfer receipt and we will send your parcel right away.

DELIVERLY
We keep a very large stock in Thailand and most orders can usually be shipped in two days
( one day to prepare the order and one day for you to make the transfer ).
As you'll see on the site, our collection is extensive. That means that as much as we try, if you order 50 pcs
of one color in a more obscure design, we might not have the full quantity in stock. As a general rule, if you keep
the order at 20 to 30 pieces per color, we should be able to fill all your order.

For larger order, we'll have to manufacture and in some cases it can take 3 to 4 weeks.

Shipping charges are as follow :
In general for smaller shipments we use UPS, for Flat rate shipments 10kg and 25 kg promotion boxes we use FEDEX or for most European Countries DHL we always will
use the cheapest carrier unless you tell us the carrier you wish.
For shipments over 100 kg it maybe make sense to use regular air or sea freight in that case we will quote you a price as you wish.
