Body Jewelry

The use of jewelry is a trend that has been long embraced by both men and women who use different forms of body jewelry: from necklaces to bracelets, chains, nose rings and so on. It is now commonplace to see individuals- especially women with several kinds of piercings around the body as humans move away from the conventional- and most common- act of solely fixing earrings. Nonetheless, the use of body jewelry connotes a message that is beyond fashion and even social class in some instances; they have also been used as accessories to propagate certain cultures. A common instance is the numerous piercings you get to see on some gang members and there are some weird(er) cultural utilization of body jewelry like the lip extension ring used by the Nilotic Mursi women.

In contemporary times, the use of body jewelry in parts of the body where they can be seen is now rampant. Furthermore, some ladies- especially teenagers- find pleasurable to have navel and/or belly button rings which they normally flaunt by wearing short tops.

And for the records; there are quite a number of individuals around the world who are finding great delight in having body piercings into which jewelry is inserted. An example is Elaine Davidson, the Brazilian woman who holds the world record for the woman- and even the individual- with the most body piercings carrying jewelry.
