Navel-draping adornment links

Belly chains are decorative chains worn around the waist, typically resting on or just below the navel.

They range from delicate jewelry—often with dangling charms or gems—to body chains connecting to other pieces.

Popular in dance, beachwear, and club fashion: She wore a gold belly chain over her bikini.

In corrections slang, belly chains are restraints securing a prisoner's hands to their waist.
