Body Jewelry Design Ideas By Melody & Elaine

We are using the term body jewelry loosely to define any jewelry that does not fall into the standard necklace/bracelet/earring categories. Many cultures across the world would not find these to be standard categories at all. Women and girls in India commonly wear ankle bracelets with or without toe rings (footless sandals). Arm cuffs have made appearances in Asia, Africa, and across the Americas. The history of thong bracelets (also known as slave bracelets or handflowers) is more obscure, possibly Indian.
