  8. History of Fashion Jewelry

    April 2, 2011 Jonathan Samuel

    Most likely, fashion jewelry appeared was in the early 1700s. That was the era of glass blowing. Starting with earrings and moving on to pendants, glass became the material of choice in the manufacture of fashion jewelry.

    Let’s pause here and go further back in time, we all know that the concept of jewelry itself is almost as old as the history of man. All through the early time, people have been using items as unique as bones and teeth to decorate their bodies; but we will not consider them as fashion jewelry as it was not intended that way! After gold and diamonds started ruling the roost, jewelers have always been on the lookout for something more economical so that everyone could afford studded jewelry. Thus it came to the concept of semi precious metals and stones.

    Diamond prospectors from the world were finding uniquely colored stones in the rivers and river beds. Since they were not really so rare or anything, they were given the term semi-precious stones. For those who could not afford real diamonds, these semi precious stones became the next best alternative. In fact, these became so popular that jewelers included gemstone jewelry as part of their mainstream selling items and they were studded in precious metals like Gold and Silver. This became real popular in the 1800s and that holds true even today.

    In the 1930s, a whole new concept of fashion jewelry came into existence with the usage of Rhinestone in its making. Named thus as they were originally gathered from the Rhine river, Rhinestones became the natural substitute for diamonds and people from all over the world immediately fell in love with these stones. They became so popular that they found their ways into the tiaras of crowns on the heads of queens all over, and even into engagement rings of the time! The prime reason was that you could afford a much bigger rhinestone at the price of a tiny little diamond.

    Coming to the history of fashion jewelry, we come into the machine made era. Though the romantics feel that the machine has spoilt the beauty of the hand-made costume jewelry, the truth is that the machine has made fashion jewelry more affordable and has enabled people to produce enough to fuel the interest of millions of ladies from all over the world.

    Finally, there is one thing that is very interesting and we should mention it here. Fashion jewelry is an extremely collectible item, and also acquires vintage status with time. There are several cases of vintage fashion jewelry auctions going into hundreds of thousands of dollars!

    So the next time you are out buying fashion jewelry, feel happy and in fact, proud that you are out to get a product with a colorful history!

Their prices range from as low as $0.05 to as high as $25.00 per bead. It goes without saying that the final finish of beads speak of the durability and the quality. Just because you buy wholesale does not mean that you shouldn’t inspect each and every piece of those wholesale beads. It is common to see fashion designers looking in to every detail when it comes to quality, even in the cheapest pieces they produce.

    Wholesale beads industry is on the pike today merely due to the fact that beads allow you to become your own designer in which you are able to put together the pieces you most desire. Most, who design their own jewelry, are compelled to have their own collection of various colorful wholesale beads so that they can put them together whenever it is needed. This way, you needn’t go necklace shopping the morning of a party and risk spending too much and not being able to buy just the right piece. It is only a matter of getting yourself equipped with a wholesale beads DIY kit before every fashion you ever wanted out of accessories came true.

  10. Types Of Body Piercing

    March 29, 2011 Jonathan Samuel

    Body piercing can be done almost on any part of the body and in any style. A form of body beautification, this tradition has been followed since eons. Amongst the ancient and the tribal societies, body piercing gained worldwide popularity only in the 1970s with more and more people opting for getting different body parts pierced for different reasons. Right from religion to culture to sexual pleasure to fashion, every individual has his own reason to sport a body piercing. These can vary from multiple hoops up, around and inside the ear, or studs and rings in the tongue, eyebrow, nostril, belly button or lips. Given here is a brief overview of the different kinds of body piercing you can go for. Check them out!

    Types Of Body Piercing

    Ear Piercing

    Ear piercing is one of the most common piercings seen across the globe. Since ages, women have been getting their earlobes pierced mainly due to religious and cultural reasons. Over the last 40 years, men too have gained immense interest in sporting pierced ears. Unlike the age-old tradition of piercing only earlobes, nowadays piercing is being done in almost all areas of the ear. They get healed in about a week and can be adorned using metals, precious stones, and others.

    Nose Piercing

    Just like ears, the nose too is simple to pierce and is mostly done by women rather than men. The nose is generally pierced on either side of the nostrils. A common tradition in India, nose piercing became popular in the West in the 1960s and 1970s only. Another option of getting the nose pierced is the dividing wall between the nostrils called the nasal septum.

    Tongue Piercing

    Carried out at the tip of the tongue, tongue piercing runs vertically from the upper to the lower surface of the tongue. This is generally done to increase pleasure during oral sex; however, most people get it done for artistic purposes. When carried out with proper instrument, tongue piercing heals quickly and lessens the chances of infections.

    Nipple Piercing

    More and more men and women are getting attracted towards nipple piercing since it is believed to increase sensitivity and sensation. Nipples can be pierced using studs or metal rings but can be very painful and dangerous as well. Further, it can trigger problems for women while breastfeeding.

    Genital Piercing

    Highly popular amongst both men and women, genital piercing is carried out for enhancing sexual pleasure. The piercing is done after extensive research directly on or around sex organs. The healing time after the piercing can vary from six to twelve months. Men can get their genitals pierced either on the scrotum or at the base of the shaft at the public bone. For women, genital piercing can be placed on the clitoris, the hood, the triangle, or the inner and outer labia.

    Naval Piercing

    Naval piercing was restricted only for the Pharaohs of Egypt. With time, it has become a common sight amongst those who wish to expose their mid-drift. Also known as belly button piercing, naval piercing is done mostly by women as they have more blouse styles to reveal the area. However, sporting a belly button piercing is not easy as one need six to twelve months to get the piercing healed completely, depending upon the person.

    Further, wearing woolen and polyester clothes need to be avoided to reduce chances of the piercing getting infected.
