body jewelry
Body Jewelry made a fashion statement along with punk and rock.
It enjoyed a place with the Woodstock era, the flower children and the 70s
anti establishment ideas with faded and torn denims, minis with laddered
tights and heavy military like footwear.
Following in these footsteps, body jewelry has been fast catching on as a
fashion fad in the 21st century. It started with a single stud on the ear
lobe and progressed to having the entire ear covered with suds and rings.
Rock singers mainly sported this style. Some soccer players sporting nose
studs also followed this trend. In the 90s belly, tongue, and cheek piercing
also gathered momentum.
The more recent rage in body jewelry is eyeball jewelry. This fad has come
from Europe and is now being showcased on American shores. To get this
glitzy gaze, a thin platinum jewel is implanted in the mucus membrane of the
eye. This is how eyeball jewelry comes about. Some regard it as great fun
and safe too! Ophthalmologists however are cautious of it and have been
issuing warnings.
Body jewelry range includes navel jewelry, designs that come in stainless
steel, sterling silver, titanium, and gold body jewelry that includes
precious stones, synthetic gems and Austrian crystals. A choice of belly
button rings is available for the non pierced navel and for those that
prefer non piercing body jewelry.
