How to Remove CBR/Captive Bead Rings

If you have a lot of piercings and plan on changing your jewelry often, I strongly suggest that you invest in a pair of ring opening pliers and a pair of ring closing pliers. They are exactly as they sound - special tools designed for the removal and closing of CBRs. 

If you don't have a pair of ring opening pliers, a pair of needle-nosed pliers will do the trick. Note: This is where people end up hurting themselves or ruining their jewelry. Needle-nosed pliers are not made for body jewelry. They can make scratches in the metal, which is a breeding ground for bacteria. It is absolutely essential that the surface of the ring is not scratched! Therefore, what you need to do is wrap the needle-nose with some kind of soft tape such as electrical or masking. Make sure the tape is clean, but keep in mind that this is far from the sterile treatment your piercing would get at a studio.

Now, place the wrapped needle-nosed end into the center of the CBR and slowly pry the ring open. Be prepared for the bead/ball to fall out by holding your other hand under the ring to catch it. After the bead has fallen out, there will be a space in the CBR. If the space does not look large enough, you can pry it open a little more with your pliers, being careful not to warp the ring shape.

Once you have a large enough space, you can remove the CBR. Slowly turn the ring - don't pull it. As you rotate the CBR, the space will reach a point where it can be carefully pulled away from the skin. If the space still isn't big enough, turn it back and open it more and try again. You don't want to force it out.
