Body jewelry as a way to enhance the beauty of a person’s body (both men and women) roots back to ancient times. It has always been an important and unique part of many cultures and nations throughout the world. It was extremely popular with American and African tribes of the past and is an essential cultural phenomenon for existing tribes to this day. This kind of ornament was used to indicate a person from the higher class or to signify the social demarcation. In Ancient Egypt, for instance, the body embellishments were worn by religious figures and political activists. The rare metals and gemstones used in their manufacture symbolized power and wealth. The jewelry was also used for ritual purposes and as talismans.
