Body jewelry for any body piercing
Body piercing and the wearing of special body jewelry has been practiced for centuries to signify adulthood, or marriage (or availability for marriage, as the case may be) and many other rites of passage.
Even today, people will mark a significant event in their life with a body piercing and a piece of body jewelry.
Modern western society is slowly becoming more tolerant of people with body piercings, largely due to peer pressure from stars and catwalk models who routinely wear body jewelry.
This gradual acceptance has made it possible for anybody to make that perfect investment in their own personal style and use body jewelry as a great way to express their personality.
With more and more people becoming interested in body jewelry, four questions are regularly asked:
What is body jewelry?
Technicaly speaking any jewelry worn on the body is body jewelry, but the term has generally come to represent jewelry worn in a body piercing, or jewelry that until recently, was not socially acceptable e.g. ankle chains and toe rings.

What is involved in buying body jewelry?
Buying body piercing jewelry is not as straight forward as it seems. There are many variables involved:
 |
Body piercings are made in different diameters (gauges). |
|
Body piercings are made in different lengths. |
|
Body piercing jewelry is not interchangeable between piercings in different parts of the body. |
So before you rush out and buy a piece of body jewelry for that special person in your life, you absolutley have to talk to them and find out "what to buy" and "how big".
When you go shopping for body jewelery you need to know the following information (you must be specific, a guess just won't do!):
|
What body piercing is the jewelry for? |
|
What gauge (diameter) is the body piercing jewelry piece? |
|
How long is the body piercing jewelry piece? Bear in mind that barbell length is measured between the inside of the balls and when measuring a ring you measure the inside diameter, not the circumference. |
By comparison, buying non piercing body jewelry seems a lot simpler, but some of the principles for buying fine jewelry apply to buying body jewelry (relative to the the part of the body you are buying the jewelry piece for).
And...
If you are buying body jewelry made from precious metal and if the jewelry contains diamonds or gemstones, the information in the jewelry tips section is worth studying.
