Smiley Piercing Jewelry

The smiley piercing sits between your upper lip and your gum, through what is called the labial frenulum. It gets its name because it shows when you smile, so add a bit of sparkle and a bit of surprise to yours with our selection of smiley jewelry.

Frequently Asked Questions: Choosing the Right Smiley Piercing Jewelry

Which jewelry style works best for a smiley piercing?

The hoop and horseshoe are the go-to styles for a lip frenulum piercing. The clicker remains the most popular choice, thanks to its discreet look at the center of the upper lip.

Our collection offers jewelry specifically designed to fit comfortably in the mouth, vetted by professionals.

This piercing style delivers a great look without getting in the way of your everyday life.

What thickness and diameter should you choose for this placement?

The standard thickness for this piece is 1.2 mm.

For the diameter, we generally recommend an 8 mm hoop for a discreet look right above the tooth, or 10 mm for a more visible hoop.

A professional piercer can confirm the right size for your mouth's anatomy. Finding the right dimensions is essential to help limit any friction against your tooth enamel.

Why insist on ASTM F-136 titanium or gold for this piercing?

Buying piercing jewelry online with no guarantee of biocompatibility carries real risks for your health and your gums.

Unlike a vague alloy or surgical steel, which can release nickel, ASTM F-136 titanium and 14k or 18k gold offer excellent tolerance.

Using these materials is the best way to avoid complications. They protect your tooth enamel and make spotless hygiene easier.

How does our jewelry help prevent reactions and sensitivities?

Our biocompatible titanium hoops and PVD gold finishes are strictly nickel-free, helping prevent unwanted reactions.

This uncompromising material standard significantly reduces the harsh friction that can lead to gum recession or irritation of the frenulum.

Our jewelry is gentle on sensitive gums, helping you avoid the pain that comes with a poor-quality alloy. Any dentist will confirm how important that neutrality is inside the mouth.

What makes Obsidian's designs aesthetically distinctive?

Our piercings feature designs built for the mouth's natural movement, with secure closures for the clicker or the horseshoe. The PVD gold finish offers a long-lasting gold color that holds up well in a moist environment, making your daily care routine easier.

The price of our pieces reflects this precision engineering. Everything is designed to enhance your smile with jewelry that's both safe and elegant.

When can you put in an Obsidian piece for this specific piercing?

You'll need to wait until healing is fully complete before replacing your initial jewelry, whether you've just had your nose, ear or lip frenulum pierced. Follow your piercer's advice to figure out the right timing.

They'll confirm you're pain-free and check that the channel is ready for your new titanium hoops. Making the switch at the right time helps prevent inflammation.

Why choose our expertise over random jewelry bought online?

With more than 15 years of expertise, Obsidian is the right place to buy reliable, long-lasting piercing jewelry. All our piercings are fully biocompatible by design, an approach backed by the input of many dental health professionals.

This level of rigor isn't optional — it's our brand standard for every purchase. You're investing in peace of mind, without putting your smile's health at risk.
