piercing
контекст: "Особое внимание нужно уделить материалу, из которого сделано украшение: для пирсинга лучше всего подходят золото, платина, титан или хирургическая сталь".
застряла на подходящем слове... jewellery - как-то не про пирсинг.... и не бижутерия это... и всякими безделицами тоже не назовешь... а вы как думаете?

Thank you. As I translated this, I thought of my soon-to-be 21 year old when he had his left eye brow pierced...That goodness that only lasted the first year of college!

: "Adornment" in piercing contexts usually stands for "decoration" in general, not for a metal piece. // Blinds are type of interior decoration. Will you say "the interior decoration is made of birch", if those a birch blinds?

In support of Alex's answer and at the risk of incurring Kurt's wrath
I would say jewelry and specify "piercing jewelry" where necessary.
