Body piercing jewelry
Body piercing jewelery is manufactured specifically for use in body piercing.
Originally, hardly any other jewellery than circular earrings were used in modern Western body piercing. As the body piercing became more of a fashion, a vast amount of specially crafted jewellery became available. Materials used for production have grown from traditional gold and silver to widespread use of surgical steel as well as titanium, glass, several kinds of plastic, wood, horn, amber, stone, bamboo, silicone, fossilized ivories, tusks and other bones, etc.
