Body Jewelry

Body jewelry is used in body piercing. In general, this term is used for other parts of the body than the ears, despite the fact that ears are of course a part of the body. This is because the ears are very commonly pierced in many parts of the world. As a result, earrings are widely available.

As body jewelry has become more and more fashionable, a wider range of styles have become available. They may be created from many different materials. Traditionally, gold and silver were the most commonly chosen options. Today they are still very popular.

In addition to these standard material choices, body jewelry may also be created from surgical steel and titanium. Non-metals may also be used. The range of plastic options include PTFE, nylon, bioplast, and tygon. Glass, wood, stone, bamboo, silicone, horn, amber, and bone are other options. Some people may even make use of custom porcelain.
