Curved Barbell with Round Cab Prongs – Oregon Sunstone
Description
Designed by BVLA (Body Vision Los Angeles), this Curved Barbell with Round Cab Prongs delivers bold scale with warm, organic gemstone character. Crafted in solid 14k gold, this 12 gauge, 3/8” curved barbell features smooth, forward-facing cabochon gemstones set in classic round prong settings for a clean, sculptural finish.
The back-threaded top is finished with a 4mm Oregon Sunstone cabochon, while the fixed bottom end features a larger 6mm Oregon Sunstone cabochon, oriented forward to maximize visibility and glow. The cabochon cut emphasizes the stone’s natural warmth and subtle internal shimmer while maintaining a comfortable, low-profile wear.
Built with one back-threaded end and one fixed end, this barbell offers added security and balance, making it ideal for clients seeking statement-scale piercing jewelry with refined, earthy elegance.
Care
Materials & build
Our jewelry is solid 14k gold (never plated) with a high-polish, skin-safe finish. Settings are low-profile for daily comfort; posts and hinges are engineered for smooth insertion and a secure fit.
Gemstones
We use ethically sourced stones set with prongs or bezel. Hard gems (diamond/sapphire) are everyday-ready; softer/porous stones (opal, turquoise, pearl, emerald) need gentler care (see cleaning).
Fit & wear
Choose sizes recommended by your piercer. For threadless ends, a slight bend in the pin creates tension; check security weekly. Hinged and seam rings are delicate—open with a twist (never pull apart).
Care & cleaning
- Daily: rinse after showers/working out; pat dry.
- Routine clean: mild soap + soft brush, then rinse and dry.
- Avoid: chlorine pools/hot tubs, harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners for opal, turquoise, pearl, emerald.
- Polishing: use a non-abrasive gold cloth on metal only (not over stones).
- Storage: separate pouch/compartment to prevent scratches.
Piercing safety
Gold is best for healed piercings. For new piercings, use implant-grade titanium or solid 14k gold that meets professional standards—ask your piercer.
Repairs & maintenance
We can tighten stones, adjust threadless tension, and service hinges. If something feels loose, stop wearing and contact us.
Design
Our dedication to excellence extends beyond materials; it encompasses the artistry and craftsmanship illustrated in every piece we carry.
