You call your site an ecommerce site, but I wouldn't go that far. It's an online catalog, nothing more. Not trying to be mean or anything, just being honest here. Ask your self, if you had an informative site about this niche, would you link to this website? (be really honest to your self,.

Why do people buy your products? Because there's no minumum order? Or because you have so many items in stock? You think price really is a determining factor? Oh, the customer can order by phone, fax and even online. The "Other Guys" don't have these options?
Notice also that by using the term "Other Guys" you´re saying something about yourself.
Opps! Did you mean to type Body Jewelry? This is terrible.
Jewelry and especially body jewelry is such an emotional product, but it's presented in such a cold way. Here's some tips:
Go to specialized body jewelry stores and take a look around. Don't pay attention to the jewelry it self but look at how they present their products. The design of the store. Ask to talk to the manager and chances are he will love to tell you about why they do things the way they do. Visit at least 3 stores so you get different perspectives.
Then try to work some ideas into your website.
