HLJ: I know your comment was meant to be snarky, but there's some truth to it. Some body jewelry is modeled after traditional peoples' jewelry, and many of the aficionados style themselves (or at least follow the trend of) "modern primitives." I have a beautiful book called, "Africa Adorned" full of just gorgeous stuff. Surprisingly, there's a lot of traditional Indian jewelry forms that have not been picked up by our current industry--not sure why.
