The Evolution of Body Piercing
According to Wikipedia, hardly any other jewellery than circular earrings were used in modern body piercing. As fashion changed, more specially crafted jewellery became available. Producers began using gold and silver, as well as several kinds of plastics and other exotic materials (like fossilized ivories, tusks and other bones).
Keeping up with fashion trends and shopping body jewelry online has become more and more mainstream as both body piercing and online technologies has developed side by side for the last 10 – 15 years.
