- WHAT IS A BCR?
-
A BCR or a bead (ball) captive ring is one of the most popular types of body jewelry. BCRs are also commonly called CBRs which means captive bead (ball) rings. They can be worn in almost any piercing because they are available in many different sizes and gauges.
All styles of BCRs consist of a ring with a small opening and a ball or bead that fits snugly into the opening, thus keeping the jewelry in place. The beads/balls usually have small indents in either side to accommodate the ends of the ring but sometimes the beads will have a hole drilled all the way through them in order to make it easier to fit. The rings are made of many different materials including surgical stainless steel, titanium, niobium as well as acrylic. The beads are made of many different materials including steel, glass, stone, acrylic and more.
The beads can have embedded gems or crystals, while others may be formed into different shapes including some that have additional charms that dangle off the bead.
These rings are very versatile and you can easily match them to your own personal style. Captive rings are great for many piercings because the rounded, closed shape makes them less likely to snag on your clothes, etc. The tight fit of the beads also makes it hard to lose the rings because they can’t fall out so long as the bead is in place.

Everyone with piercings should know how their body jewelry works. It is a good idea to practice snapping the ball in and out several times to make sure you get the hang of it before attempting to insert the body jewelry. Very thin and very thick body jewelry is more difficult to do by yourself and might even require special tools. If you cannot get the hang of it, just visit your piercing professional do this for you as they have a professional tool to make this job easier!
If you are doing any body jewellery changing in front of a mirror and over a sink, be sure you lay a clean towel across the sink to catch the ball when you drop it, which you will most likely do several times! I find using latex gloves with all body jewellery makes this job much easier.
