Removing a lip ring ball is not always as easy as it looks. Often, once the ring is in the ball seems stuck. You might be convinced you will never get it out again. With a little assistance, you can get your lip ring out to change it for a different lip ring.
Ball-closure lip rings are made as an open ring with a ball. The ball is often made out of plastic, but it can also be made from ceramic, steel, silver, gold or another kind of metal. The ball has a divot in each end, which is how it fits onto the hoop.
Labret studs are straight pieces of jewelry made for the lip. This type of lip ring has a variety of different closure pieces, many of which are balls, but also include cones, flowers and many other different shapes.
