A nipple shield is a piece of body jewelry worn on the nipple partially or fully covering the areola. The shield encircles the nipple and can be stuck on by various means including suction friction and the action of glue but is most often held in place by a nipple piercing. Usually the primary intent of the nipple shield is to lift highlight and ornament the nipple as well as the whole breast much as other pieces of jewelry do for other parts of the body.
