I just bought myself a ball closure ring or my belly button, like this one (though with a different design):



The trouble is I can't work out how on earth it opens. I've tried twizzling the ball in case it unscrews but it just seems to go round and round indefinitely. Anyone have any ideas/experience that might help?

Your earring is a rather skinnier guage though? I think this one is rather too stiff to pull apart that way. Don't intend to take it out any time too soon though.

If it's thicker it's probably also more resistant to more brutal techniques, so that's OK.
