Navel rings are jewel accessories for the navel or the belly button. Navel piercing is a form of body piercing, where the skin surrounding the belly button or the navel is pierced and the ring is inserted. It is more common among women than men.

Navel rings may feature precious metals or stones, and may be made up of gold, silver, stainless steel, and so on. Some navel rings feature symbols or images of celebrities, on the ring bubble. The symbols may include flags of different nations, religious symbols, and so on. To sport navel rings, the fashion of belly shirts that left the belly uncovered to expose the navel, arrived on the scene.

Navel rings are favorites among models and celebrities. The 1993 Aerosmith music video for the song Cryin' shows Hollywood actress Alicia Silverstone getting her belly button pierced by San Francisco piercer Paul King. The video is thought to have introduced body piercing to mainstream society. Other celebrities known to sport navel rings include pop star Britney Spears, and film stars Jessica Alba and Kiera Knightley.

Care needs to be taken when sporting navel rings. Experts suggest applying a hard, vented eye patch when wearing tight clothing. This can protect the area from restrictive clothing, excess irritation, and impact during physical activities such as contact sports.
