Organic Body Jewelry

Our current age is one of being organic. Now, by definition, humans are organic but being organic means you do not go for processed foods, you grow your own vegetables or buy them at an organic garden and you wear organic fabrics that biodegrade over time.
Not to be left behind, body jewelry manufacturers are beginning to take notice and release organic jewelry.

What Is It?
Generally speaking, organic jewelry is jewelry that comes from a desire to wear something that is a part of nature. This can be like wearing wood, bone or anything else that comes natural from nature and does not have to be processed.
Organic body jewelry can even be hair if the person so desires it.

Who Sells It?
Generally, organic jewelry will have to be bought online from retailers who specialize in organic jewelry. Usually these manufacturers will specialize in jewelry from ecological sources that benefits a cause, often called ‘ethical jewelry’.
If you choose to buy this type of jewelry, it is the type that you will be buying with a clear mind, without worry that the piece of jewelry you have on your body is something that harmed the Earth when it was extracted.

Any Risks?
Well, in today’s world no matter what you buy, there are risks in using it. The same is true with organic jewelry, which since it is organic, can be a breeding ground for bacteria and infections.
This is especially true with wood, which is a material with pores that can allow bacteria and germs to develop, which will eventually lead to an infection in the open wound that is your piercing. It is important that you research the types of organic jewelry you can get and make sure it is not something that will cause problems later on for you.
You should also understand what types of materials may cause allergic reactions in you. If you get jewelry made of hair, make sure it is not the type of hair that will cause you to begin scratching and sneezing.

Wear The Dead?
Yes, you can wear the dead with organic jewelry, specifically their ashes.
In this case, you can the ashes of someone encased in a ring so that you can wear it throughout your life as a constant reminder of the friendship or love that person provided for you. It is like an urn you carry on your ear, around your neck or on your finger.

Materials
The types of materials that can be used for organic jewelry is almost limitless. Anything ranging from bamboo and amber to hair and wood can be used as jewelry. Of course, some materials have different abilities to conform to shapes so you may have to settle with an open circle in the case of bamboo, which is not able to morph into anything else. However, items like amber can be molded into different shapes that will leave you breathless at their beauty.
That being said, getting a piece of jewelry made out of something like wood is going to be a lot cheaper then getting something made out of amber. This is due to the fact that there is lots of wood in the world, but amber takes millions of years to make.

Conclusion
Organic jewelry is the type of jewelry you want if you worry about your karma being affected by buying jewelry that is taken from the Earth by humans in a manner that is not ethical. It is the type of jewelry you can show off because it is so unique, so natural and, yes, so organic.
Have fun with the types of jewelry you can have. Maybe get something made out of your wife or husband’s hair, or perhaps have their ashes in a ring for you. You can also get a piece of jewelry that was 65 million years in the making with amber, or go with something a bit more cost effective with wood or stone.
No matter what you choose to use, you will be able to enjoy the fact that what you wear came from the Earth in a natural way and you are practicing ethical consumerism by ensuring what you buy is not tainted with the blood of people, or the Earth.
