If You Could Only Have One Type of Body Jewelry What Would It Be?

I know. It's seems almost a crime to limit yourself to just one type of anything...especially body jewelry! You can adorn virtually every part of your body with some sort of jewel, precious metal, or tribal inspired design. For each person the answer to this question will be different. What we discovered is that their choice was often related to the reasons that they chose certain types of body jewelry in the first place.

As an example, there were several respondents to our study that indicated that a nose ring or stud would be their top choice. The reasons varied. Some chose this type of nose piercing because it made them feel close to or identify with Eastern religion or its philosophy. They believed that it was an outward expression of their personal inner peace. Other reasons included the tradition that a jeweled nose was a reflection of a family's status.

Gauging Ears

Another popular body jewelry choice in our one option survey was belly rings. These have become very popular as a result of many celebrities exposing their middles with glamorous stones or diamonds. The most often cited reason related to fashion; however, the belief that a belly ring was viewed as sexy came in a close second.

Earring and Rings came in a tie for third place in our body jewelry hunt. Many were pleased with the wide variety of choices they have when it comes to styles, materials, and sizes. They enjoyed the fact that they could easily accessorize with this type of jewelry to match their outfit or their mood.

Honorable mention on our survey of body jewelry goes to nipple rings, toe rings, and tongue rings. Respondents felt that this type of jewelry for the body placed them outside of society's box of norms, a place that they were comfortable with. They wanted to express their individual spirits and felt body jewelry of this style allowed them to do that.
