The companies that ship wholesale jewelry to stores that do not specialize in body jewelry, tend to mass produce jewelry, which means they're usually of very cheap quality.

Places that tend to be the best to purchase from are alternative stores such as Hot Topic and Spencers. You can find decent quality jewelry at Clares, and stores of the sorts, as well.

But you don't always have to pay $10 per banana barbell.

You can purchase fairly cheap body jewelry and still get decent quality. The last thing that you want to do is to purchase a cheap navel ring and irritate your piercing, whether new or old.
