NOSE PIN

2011-07-09T09:04:00.000-07:00

Nose Pins and Nose Rings come in various styles, with and without stones, some with enamel, some with precious and semi-precious stones including mainly diamonds, pearls, sapphires and rubies. The nose pins are made in two main styles, the wire type and the screw type, the difference is mainly due to the way they are worn, the details are given below:

Wire Style nose pins: The wire style nose pins may be easier to wear for someone who has the nose pierced recently, as it is thinner, it consist of a wire, with the stone or decoration on the top surface, the wire is malleable so can be easily twisted and turned with out breaking, the wire is inserted in the pierced hole and then turned to a comfortable position from inside the noses trill so as not to hurt or poke the inside of the nose.

Push style or screw style nose pins: The difference between the push style and screw style is minor, the push style as the name suggest, is just pushed on the back of the stem, it is easier to wear, the disadvantage it that the back may be lost as it is just held by friction, which is not the case with the screw style nose pins as these have to be screwed tight, the procedure to wear the screw style nose pin is simple enough, it consist of two parts, a tiny stem about 1-1.5 mm thick, which is inserted in the pierced hole in the nose, the second part is a screw which is tightened from inside the noses trill, the screw section is long enough, so it is easier to hold between the finger and thumb, while trying to screw it on the stem.

A necklace is an article of jewellery which is worn around the neck. Necklaces are frequently formed from a metal jewellery chain, often attached to a locket or pendant. Necklaces can also be manufactured with cloth, and they sometimes contain rocks (particularly gems), wood, and/or shells with different shapes and sizes.

Necklaces have been an integral part of jewelry since the time of ancient civilizations. The birth of necklaces is believed to be as old as the Stone Age, which is around 40,000 years old. At that time, people were decorating themselves with mollusk necklaces. Later, necklaces made of stones, bones, shells and animal teeth became popular. After the discovery of metals, gold, silver and a variety of other metals were used to make eye-catching necklaces for both men and women.

EARINGS (JHUMKA)

Earrings are jewelry attached to the ear through a piercing in the earlobe or some other external part of the ear (except in the case of clip earrings, which clip onto the lobe). Earrings are worn by both sexes. In western cultures, earrings have traditionally been worn primarily by women, although in recent decades, ear piercing has also become popular among men in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa^{[citation needed]}.

Common locations for piercings, other than the earlobe, include the rook, tragus, and across the helix (see image at right)^{[citation needed]}. The simple term “ear piercing” usually refers to an earlobe piercing, whereas piercings in the upper part of the external ear are often referred to as “cartilage piercings.” Cartilage piercings are more complex to perform than earlobe piercings and take longer to heal^{[citation needed]}.

Earring components may be made of any number of materials, including metal, plastic, glass, precious stones, beads, and other materials. Designs range from small loops and studs to large plates and dangling items. The size is ultimately limited by the physical capacity of the earlobe to hold the earring without tearing. However, heavy earrings worn over extended periods of time may lead to stretching of the earlobe and the piercing.
