For people who like to make statements with their appearance, body jewelry is a popular accessory for those who like to wear their ornaments other places than around their necks, fingers or wrists.
Body piercing and body jewelry has existed for centuries, but exactly where and when it originated is a topic of debate. However, even mummified bodies that have been excavated have been found to have piercings and jewelry everywhere from their ears to their nasal septums.
Body jewelry is such an original way to express oneself due to the fact there are so many different kinds of jewelry available. Beyond the standard of gold and silver, body jewelry can be made of many different types of materials. Some of the more popular ones are:
Which type of material one chooses depends on the look they are trying to achieve.
For those into tribal body jewelry, wood and bamboo are popular options. Tribal body jewelry can be categorized by its ornate detail and ethnic appeal. This jewelry originated as a way for various tribes within the same culture to differentiate themselves and show tribal solidarity.
Presently, tribal jewelry is popular among the masses. These people might stretch their piercing holes in their ears into large gaping cavities or wear ivory horn shaped jewelry through their nasal septum. However the tribal jewelry is worn, it is a popular type of adornment that has transcended generations and cultural boundaries.
Another widespread trend in the body jewelry rage is nipple body jewelry. This can be traced back to 14th century Europe and is still a popular site for body piercing jewelry.
This piercing gained mass attention a few years back when Janet Jackson exposed her nipple shield to the world during the Super Bowl. With the nation suddenly focused on hardware that can be worn on the breast, it appears nipple body jewelry has become better known.
Nipple jewelry can be as simple as a metal hoop or as flashy as a nipple shield, which is a larger piece of jewelry attached to the piercing which covers the nipple.
Whether it is a small hoop piercing through one's nipple which no one ever even sees or an ostentatious nipple shield shown to the world, this is a trendy form of body jewelry.
Despite the large amount of people willing to put holes through their nipples and various other places, there are some who want the look of body piercing jewelry without the pain. For these folks, magnetic body jewelry is the answer.
Magnetic body jewelry can be worn essentially anywhere, from somewhere as simple as one's ears to someplace a little more risqué like one's tongue. It works as the jewelry is attached to a backing magnet and can be moved and shifted to almost anywhere on the body. If someone is into the look of body jewelry but not so into pain or semi-permanency, magnetic jewelry provides the illusion of a real piercing, minus the anguish.
Body jewelry provides the wearer with a unique manner in which to represent themselves. Maybe it's by having an amber spiral embedded in the nasal cavity, or perhaps it's by showcasing a shiny metal shield on the nipple. Either way, this trend has existed for centuries and as long as people are looking for new ways to express themselves, body jewelry is sure to be around for years to come.
