A nipple shield is not usually nipple piercing jewelry in and of itself; it is an accessory for the piercing jewelry. It is usually a decorative plate with a hole in the centre. The nipple is placed through this hole, and then once the piercing jewelry is put through the nipple, the shield is held in place. Nipple shields are available in a wide range of styles.
The nipple shield was a Gauntlet innovation.[1]
