Natural beauty, timeless elegance and a beautifully polished finish.  Add a touch of natural colour to your piercing with these gorgeous genuine gemstone captive beads. Featuring a smooth, polished cabochon finish, each bead showcases the unique colour, character and beauty of natural stone.

Available in a stunning selection of Amethyst, Black Onyx, Garnet, Moonstone and Turquoise, these interchangeable beads offer an elegant alternative to traditional metal balls or faceted gemstones.

Designed to clip securely into a compatible captive bead ring, they're perfect for adding a subtle splash of colour to your daith, septum, conch, helix or lobe piercing.

As each gemstone is naturally formed, subtle variations in colour, pattern and appearance make every piece beautifully unique.

Industrial Strength manufactures it from ASTM F-1295 implant-grade titanium, an APP-approved, jewellery-verified manufacturer renowned for exceptional quality. Suitable for fresh and healed piercings, each piece carries a lifetime guarantee against defects in workmanship.

Choosing the Correct Size

Captive beads are designed to fit specific ring gauges and diameters. Small indentations on either side of the bead securely accommodate the ends of the ring.

• 4mm bead: Suitable for 11–12mm diameter rings.
• Ring gauge: Available for 16g (1.2mm) or 14g (1.6mm) rings.

Important: A 14g bead may fit into a 16g ring, but the larger indentations can allow it to rotate. For the most secure fit, always match the bead gauge and ring diameter.

Compatible with appropriately sized captive bead rings from Industrial Strength, Anatometal and Apex.

Sold individually. Captive bead ring not included.

SIZING & FITTING:
For compatible jewellery options, styling guidance and anodising services, please explore our Essentials collections or contact the studio for assistance.

Jewellery measurements, including gauge, length and internal diameter, are listed within each product description where applicable.

We strongly recommend professional sizing where possible; however, we understand this is not always practical. Using your existing jewellery as a guide is often the easiest way to determine sizing.

For detailed measuring guidance, compatibility information and jewellery fitting advice, please refer to our Jewellery Measuring Guide

To help protect your jewellery, avoid harsh chemicals, excessive force and unnecessary removal.

Threaded ends should be tightened carefully and checked regularly. Threadless pins should be handled gently, as repeated bending can weaken or snap the pin.

For full guidance on caring for titanium, gemstones, threaded and threadless jewellery, please read our Jewellery Care Guide.
