The invention relates to a locking means which is adapted to constitute part of an item of body jewellery (1) . The locking means comprises a holder (10) having at least one opening (24, 25) to be passed by an end portion (80) of a bar (3) of said item of body jewellery (1) and, separately arranged therefor, an insert (40) received in the holder and having a hole (44) . The insert is operable relative to the holder between a first and a second position by applying a pressure to the insert. The opening (24, 25) of the holder (10) and the hole (44) of the insert (40) together define in the first position a recess (35) into which the end portion (80) of the bar is insertable. In the second position the holder (10) and the insert (40) cooperate with the end portion (80) of the bar for locking the same when inserted in the recess (35) .
