A piece of piercing jewelry adapted to be placed around a pierced body part, such as a nipple, includes a jewelry part (1) of resilient material and a piercing rod (2) arranged on the rear side of the jewelry part (1).One end of the piercing rod (2) is pivotally mounted (3) in one side of the jewelry part (1), whereas the opposite free end of said piercing rod is capable of engaging a locking means in the opposite side of said jewelry part. The locking means is formed by a transverse recess (6) provided in the jewelry part (1), the cross section of said locking means substantially corresponding to the cross section of the piercing rod (2).The recess (6) includes a narrow opening (4) facing the front of the jewelry part (1) as well as a wide opening (5) facing the rear side of the jewelry part (1), said wide opening (5) presenting such a minimum cross dimension that the piercing rod (2) can be pressed through the wide opening (5) and into the recess (6) by a slight pressure, such as by a finger nail, on the projecting free end (7) of said piercing rod (2) so as to enter a locking engagement with said recess. As a result a reliable locking of the piercing rod (2) is obtained without necessitating the use of a separate locking means. The jewelry part (1) is advantageously a circular ring, and the piercing rod (2) can be of a circular cross section. In addition, the piercing rod can be shaped with a curvature perpendicular to the plane of the jewelry part. The jewelry part (1) and the piercing rod (2) can both be made of surgical steel or of eighteen-carat gold.
