Body Jewellery

Ever thought of adding a little bit of sparkle to your body? Body jewellery is an old time favourite of many across the globe. Body jewellery has been popular throughout the ages, dating back through several eras of history and cultures that have both disappeared and survived the ravages of time itself. Body jewellery is loved by many across the globe, and still maintains a very strong place in a lot of traditional cultures while still being part of the current fashion trends. It very much contains the best of both the old and new worlds. Most body jewellery types are attached to the body via piercings. There are a number of places possible to pierce on the human body including the eyebrow, the nose, the lip, the ear, the septum, the bellybutton, and if you’re feeling incredibly brave, the genitalia.

When you think of body jewellery you often think of earrings. Earrings have a very traditional place in body jewellery, and there is a long history of earring manufacturing and design dating back an awful long time. Antique earrings have a very strong collector’s market, which is just testament to how valuable body jewellery can be to certain people. Another form of body jewellery would be rings. Quite often nose piercings have rings either in the side of the nostril or in the septum. Rings are often made of thin lightweight metals to avoid putting strain on the piercing, but heavier and thicker rings or plastic plugs can be inserted with the aid of a stretcher, which over time increases the size of the piercing.

Eyebrow body jewellery has seen something of a renaissance. Eyebrow piercings often have rings and barred studs. Due to the somewhat tricky area it is not advised that any other form of body jewellery is placed in the piercing, nor is it wise to attempt stretching it either. Doing so could lead to infection and permanent scarring. Body jewellery obviously still has a place in modern society despite so ingrained in old world fashion, so don’t cast the idea of getting a piercing to the wayside when it could potentially revive your whole look.
