Nose rings – fashionable yet trendy jewelry
Cocktail rings. Cocktail rings pack a surprisingly big punch in a terrific little package! Draw attention to your hands (and look younger) by choosing unfussy rings with one big stone rather than stones with diamonds or other detailing. Choose rings made of bold, colorful materials like turquoise, onyx, mother-of-pearl or jade. Black pearls and oversize white pearls make great cocktail rings too. Trendsetters like Eva Mendes, Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum, Cameron Diaz and Catherine Zeta-Jones are all fans.
Nose rings – fashionable yet trendy jewelry
Nose rings are perhaps the most fashionable and trendy jewelry of our times. However the concept has been around for centuries. It originated in the Middle East and then the Mughals brought it to India when they arrived in the 16th century. The nose ring is traditional Indian attire. Following this, centuries later, in the 1960s the nose ring became a piece of trendy jewelry that was worn by the hippies. The piercing of their noses was a sign of rebellion against society rather than a fashion trend. We have come a long way since then. Today, nose rings are a must have piece of trendy jewelry.
Types of nose piercing
There are three types of nose piercing that are possible: piercing of the nostril, piercing of the nasal septum and piercing of the bridge. In India the left nostril is the one that is usually pierced as it is believed that this helps with child birth and eases pain during menstruation. However today nose rings are used as trendy jewelry and because of this, there is no fixed rule on where or which side the nose is pierced on.
