Body Gems is a family-owned brand with deep roots in the jewelry industry. Founded in 1994 by Scott Collins, and inspired by a lightbulb moment from his father Jack, Body Gems began with one clear vision: to bring high-quality 14k gold to the world of body piercing.

At a time when gold wasn’t commonly used in piercings, Scott began handcrafting Captive Bead Rings, Straight Barbells, Curved Barbells, and Circular Barbells from solid 14k gold. What started as a local operation quickly grew into a national effort — with Scott hitting the road to personally introduce the Body Gems line to studios across the U.S.

Today, Body Gems remains a family-run business, led by Scott’s son Josh and supported by his mother Cheryl. Together, they continue the legacy of creating safe, stylish, and timeless body jewelry, now shipping worldwide.
