Delivery £30+
✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free
Add a soft pop of colour to your piercing with this 16 Gauge Internally Threaded Opal Curved Barbell. Crafted from 316L surgical steel and finished with matching 3mm lab-opal ball ends, it’s available in Blue, White or Pink for a colourful alternative to classic crystal jewellery.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Twin Lab Opal Ends: Matching 3mm opal ball ends add colour and an iridescent finish to both sides of the curved barbell.
✔ Three Colour Options: Choose from Blue, White or Pink to coordinate with your existing jewellery or introduce a softer pop of colour to your piercing stack.
✔ Internally Threaded Design: Both decorative ends screw into the bar rather than over an exposed external thread, giving the jewellery a smoother and more refined construction.
💎 The Detail
Simple in shape but full of colour, this curved barbell combines polished surgical steel with matching lab-created opal ends. The luminous opal effect gives the piece a softer finish than traditional clear crystal jewellery while keeping the classic curved-barbell silhouette.
This barbell is 16 gauge (1.2mm) with a 14mm wearable length, crafted from 316L surgical steel and finished with two internally threaded 3mm lab-opal ball ends. Available in Blue, White or Pink and sold individually. Designed for compatible, fully healed piercings where a 16G curved barbell with a 14mm wearable length is appropriate.

How is barbell length measured?
Straight barbells: Measure the wearable bar between the two balls or attachments. Do not include the balls or decorative ends in the measurement.
Curved barbells: Measure the wearable section of the curved bar between the two attachments.
Nipple barbells: Measure the wearable straight bar between the two ends. For decorative nipple shields or specialised designs, check the product specifications because the wearable length can differ from the overall bar measurement.
Everyone’s anatomy is different. If possible, measure jewellery that already fits comfortably.
