Gold is a symbol of prosperity, and that means that a lot of people want it for their jewelry. They wear it for earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, and now they are wearing it for their body jewelry – including nose, lip, eyebrow, and belly button piercings. But is what you’re buying really gold? If it’s not, it could make you sick. It’s generally recommended that you get eighteen karat gold, too, because ten or fourteen karat gold has a lot of impurities that aren’t good for you. They have more nickel in them along with other metals, and that means that you have a higher chance of being allergic to them. Eighteen karat gold is about seventy-five percent pure, so an allergy to it would be unlikely. The only other gold that you can buy easily is twenty-four karat, but that’s considered ‘pure’ gold, and it’s very expensive. Most people don’t want to, or can’t, pay that kind of money, so eighteen karat is their best option. It’s possible to have an allergic reaction to this jewelry, but it’s very unlikely. When buying gold body jewelry, the best thing to do is buy from a reputable source so you know what you’re getting.

 Gold jewelry is marked with the karat information, so check to see if you can locate that information. If you can’t you most likely have gold plated jewelry and that’s not something you want to put into your body. Even people who don’t have allergies to base metals like nickel can still have a reaction to the inexpensive metals they use for these pieces of jewelry, so avoiding them is really the safest and best choice. They can cause discomfort, swelling, and infection even in piercings that are already healed up. If you aren’t sure where the jewelry came from or what karat it is, it’s better to avoid it and get something else. If you can’t afford eighteen karat jewelry, stick to silver or something else that doesn’t have a lot of base metal in it and that won’t give you a reaction. Then buy eighteen karat gold body jewelry when you can afford it.  

The body jewelry trend is not going away anytime soon. In fact body piercings are becoming more and more common. There is a great demand for accessories and jewelry for the navel, ears, nipples, lip, eyebrows, tongue and nose. If you sell such jewelry then this article is just for you. The key to your success in this particular area will be to find an excellent wholesale body jewellery supplier.

Importing is lesson number 1

As a retail outlet you must have probably already noticed that the â??out of town stuffâ?? sells faster that the items that are made and available locally. The psychology of this is quite simple. Everyone wants to be different and when it comes to body jewelry the only way to ensure that they are not wearing what ten others are is to buy pieces that are imported. So what does this translate into for you? You need to find a wholesale jewellery supplier that imports unique body jewelry

Finding a trend spotter is lesson number 2

When you look for a wholesale jewelry supplier especially for body jewelry it is important that you find one who keeps up with the latest trends from all over the world. Your wholesale supplier should be able to spot these trends and supply you with body jewelry pieces accordingly. The wholesaler that you finally decide to buy from should be doing all the homework and supplying you with stuff that will sell â?? and fast!

Check on shipping and minimums

When you buy jewellery wholesale, it is understood that you will be picking up pieces in relatively large quantities. However even these large quantities need to be reasonable. Body jewelry trends change fast, just as it is with other kind of jewelry and you wouldnâ??t want to invest a whole lot of money into a shipment only to be stuck with half of it.  Most online stores allow you to purchase a reasonable amount. So check them out. Before you place your order, it is also important to check on their shipping schedules. It is best to choose a store that ships its orders within 48 hours.

The idea of body jewelry has come a long way since the post modern preference for ear piercing on women. Today’s generation, believe it or not, much like ancient societies throughout history, have gone to the more extreme multiple piercing of various body parts.

If you ask around, you’ll get a lot of different opinions about body piercing, both pro and con. Many people use piercings to help express who they are and what they’re about, completely endorsing this type of adornment and what they endorse. However, you’ll also get people who are completely against body piercings and couldn’t imagine who in their right mind would allow something to be permanently placed through their skin. Although both sides seem to have valid points, the reality is that many of the piercing holes will close up as long as they’re not made too large.

Body piercing, the process of puncturing your skin in various locations and placing a metal jewelry adornment through the hole is a very ancient statement. Even today, many indigenous cultures practice body piercings for both adornment and as a status symbol. Though there has been a recent resurgence in native and tribal body piercings, most modern body piercings are done as purely a form of adornment.

So, should you get a body piercing? The answer varies greatly from person to person, but regardless of who you are there are a few things to consider. Answering these questions honestly and openly will help you realize whether or not body piercing is right for you. Are you particularly attached to a certain image that means something to you, or do you want to get a body piercing merely for the sake of getting a body piercing? Most people who are satisfied with their body piercings years on down the road are happy because they have made this decision not because of peer pressure but is something meaningful to them personally. Can you see yourself with the same body piercing when your seventy-five years old? It’ll probably still be there.

Since a body piercing is permanent, don’t just waltz into the nearest body piercing parlor, look at the flash in the case, and pick out something you like. Though this can be a good technique for getting ideas, there’s no rush to get it done immediately.

One final thought about body piercing is that it can cause some unexpected side effects. Do you think it will matter to your future significant other that you’ve pierced a certain part of your body? Understand that this decision “may” limit your choice of partners at least a little.

Next up on the unintended consequences list is that body piercing can dull the senses of the pierced body part. This may not be important today be understand that the decision is long term — lifetime — and losing sensitivity in private areas can be something that might be missed later in life.

Lastly, there’s the issue of loose stools. That’s right, we’re talking about leakage. A couple of piercings usually are not a problem but if you tend to go all out and get quite a few, the risk of anal leakage goes up with each piercing. The reason is that the metal from the piercings tend to leach into your body and increase the level of certain heavy metals. Nickel is especially prone to this effect and can cause leaking anal problems

Although the problems are something to consider, if the desire to have piercings for the right reasons continues to interest you, then take a deep breath and go for it.

If you have an image that you’re attached to, decide where you want it on your body. Most people who get body piercing ed, even those with large body piercings covering their arms, legs, or back, will avoid getting body piercings on their hands, neck, or face, due to the fact that many employers frown on body piercing and because body piercings which are always visible can make it tougher to get hired at certain jobs. Think of how visible you want your body piercing to be; should it be seen when you’re wearing short sleeves? What about shorts?

Finally, make sure you get body piercing ed at a respectable body piercing parlor. All of the needles should be sterile, as should the general working conditions. Be picky about your artist as well, view his or her portfolio and see a sketch of your design before getting inked, since you should be 100% happy with your body piercing.

You are a creative person, and you are always looking for outlets for that creativity. You have done all of the traditional art hobbies that you can think of, and now you would like your body to look like art. No, you’re not getting tattoos; you’re thinking about getting body jewelry.

About Body Jewelry

When people think about body jewelry, chances are they aren’t exactly sure what that means. While body jewelry can include things like those stick-on fake jewels that some people like to wear, body jewelry is specifically in reference to the kind of jewelry that people put in their body piercings.

For example, you have a nose piercing, and you are thinking about what kind of body jewelry you would like to put in it. While you could just choose a plain metal stud, you could also be a bit for fancy and choose a stud that has a gemstone in it. You could also choose a nose ring.

If you have an eyebrow piercing, you could also choose some kind of a stud. However, some people like to get a bit more decorative and choose body jewelry that has a symbol on it. The symbols that people choose are dependent on their own jewelry preferences.

Many people now have navel piercings, and the choice of body jewelry for this kind of piercing is often a stud that looks like a crystal. If you are thinking about getting a navel piercing, be aware that you are going to have to avoid swimming in the ocean or in a pool for several weeks after the piercing is done.

Also, be careful in regard to the kind of body jewelry you choose. Some people have an allergic reaction to certain kinds of metals, which can lead to an infection, so be sure that you don’t become one of those people by immediately taking out the body jewelry if you see it causing a rash.

This kind of jewelry can be many in different price ranges, but be aware that the more expensive kinds are also the safest kinds for a piercing. You can buy this kind of jewelry at a variety of different stores and online.

However, if you do buy this kind of jewelry online, try not to buy it secondhand, for health reasons. With the right body jewelry, you can certainly make a statement in a creative way.

Jewelry has always been a popular accessory for both men and women to display. In the past jewelry was placed in the ears, around the neck, on the fingers, and around the wrists and ankles. Today body jewelry has become a very popular concept that involves displaying jewelry in other areas.

Belly rings and naval rings have become increasingly popular with the younger generation. This is due to the rise in the trend of girls wearing short tops and low rise jeans.

It is your responsibility as a patron to make sure the place is very clean and sterile. You should be able to see that the body jewelry they will be inserting is sterilized in front of you. The needle should be in a package and opened in front of you as well. If you are not satisfied with the sanitary process of the person doing the piercing then do not allow them to proceed.

Most of them are not authorized to provide such services on individuals less than 18 years of age. Many young people though give each other these piercing and then they hide them from their parents. This can lead to a very serious infection taking place.

Of all the body piercing, those in the nose and the mouth have the biggest risk of becoming infected. Those in the lip and on the tongue can end up causing damage to teeth and gums so consider them very carefully. Some research indicates that getting such body piercing can significantly increase the risk of heart disease even in very young individuals.

Non-pierced jewelry can either be attached through the use of magnets, springs or by clipping. When using magnets, the body ornament will be equipped with thin magnetic studs which are commonly washable. These backing magnetic studs are placed on the inside of the lip or at the back of the earlobe.

The other piece of the body jewelry is then placed over the area of the magnet on the other side. Because manufacturers of fake body jewelry use strong magnets, the magnetic studs are strong enough to keep body jewelry in place giving the illusion that the lip, ear, noses, etc are pierced.

Another good fake body piercing jewelry design is the use of spring hoops in rings. The springs allow the nose, lip, ear or belly rings to be attached and removed quite easily.

This is a good alternative if you don’t want magnet equipped jewelry on your face. Spring-action rings also cause little or no discomfort at all unlike actual piercing which can cause itchiness or inflammation depending, of course, on the person’s body chemistry.
