Womens Jewelry

We as a species have been using body jewelry to adorn and celebrate our bodies since we came down from the trees. It is just so difficult for us to resist the seductive shimmer of metal, the shine of polished stone, and the patterned grain of wood and ivory. We are even prepared to go through a little initial pain to decorate ourselves with body jewelry. In fact, that is part of its allure.

Piercing is just as prevalent today as it has always been. If anything, some of the more extreme expressions of body jewelry, such as nipple rings and tongue studs, are becoming more and more popular. As our societies become more sophisticated and full of more cultural layers, subcultures emerge that need to mark their territory and express their identity. Adopting extreme forms of body jewelry is an excellent way of achieving this.
