Nipple Jewelry

What is nipple jewelry?

Nipple jewelry is body jewelry designed to be worn on the nipples without a piercing. Most pieces use a soft loop, tie or small adjustable ring to hold a decorative element in place, whether that is a crystal teardrop, a string of pearls, a bow, a bell or a fine chain running between both nipples. The look ranges from boudoir-pretty to playful to overtly kinky, and the sensation ranges from barely-there to a gentle, deliberate hold. If you are mainly after pressure rather than decoration, our nipple, breast and body clamps collection is where the adjustable clamps live, and the wider nipple and body play range covers clamps, suckers and pumps together.

Types of nipple jewelry

Non-piercing dangles and teardrops

Nipple Play's non-piercing jewelry and crystal teardrop pieces, and Sincerely's Amber and Bow Tie designs, loop gently around the nipple and let a charm hang. These are the lightest option and the closest to real jewelry.

Pearl and bow nipple ties

Sex and Mischief's pearl nipple ties, Brat pearl jewelry and plain nipple ties wrap a soft cord around the base of the nipple and finish with pearls or a bow. You set the hold yourself, so they suit first-timers and lingerie shoots.

Nipple and clitoral sets

Fifty Shades Freed's All Sensation nipple and clitoral chain, Intimate Play's beaded and non-piercing nipple and clitoral jewelry, the Fetish Fantasy Limited Edition set and Sex and Mischief's Shadow bell jewelry link nipples and clitoris with a fine chain or add a bell that chimes with movement.

Bull rings and silicone nubs

Fetish Fantasy Series nipple bull rings give a pierced look with a ring that slips on and off, while Hunkyjunk's Nano Nips silicone nubs grip the nipple with a soft, stretchy sleeve. Both lean towards a harder aesthetic and pair naturally with leather and restraints.

Body jewelry with nipple ties

Sex and Mischief's Ex's and Oh's body jewelry drapes a chain across the torso and finishes with nipple ties, for a complete look under sheer lingerie or on its own.

How to choose nipple jewelry

Decide whether you want to look at it, feel it, or both.

• Hold: loose dangles have almost none; ties and adjustable loops let you set it; bull rings and silicone nubs grip more firmly.
• Weight: chains, pearls and bells add a tug that increases when you move; start light.
• Occasion: pearls, crystals and bows suit lingerie and photos; bull rings and bells lean into a bondage aesthetic.
• Sets: some pieces bundle nipple jewelry with a matching clitoral charm or body chain for a coordinated look.
• Coverage instead: if you want sparkle with no hold at all, pasties and nipple covers stick on rather than loop on.

How to use and care for nipple jewelry

Warm the nipple with your fingers first so it stands up, then slip the loop or tie on and tighten only until it stays put. Keep wear short for the first few sessions and remove the piece if the nipple goes numb, cold or changes colour.

• Wipe metal, crystal and chain with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid soaking anything with pearls or thread.
• Wash silicone nubs and rings with warm water and a toy cleaner and let them dry fully.
• Store pieces separately so chains do not tangle and crystals do not scratch.

Nipple jewelry for beginners and couples

If you are new to nipple play, start with a non-piercing dangle or a pair of nipple ties: you get the look with almost no sensation. Chain sets are the natural next step, because the tug builds as you move. Couples often enjoy belled or chained pieces, where a partner can hear or feel the movement during play. If you find you want suction rather than sparkle, nipple pumps and suction toys are the next drawer along.
