A while back I posted about some body jewelry I was interested in, which I wound up not buying because of the cost and because none of it was quite exactly right. (Don't you hate that? I'm willing to go to great lengths and spend a surprising amount of money for that exactly right thing but it's often so hard to find.) Today, I also discovered that the bottom bead on a piece of my jewelry had fallen out. (It was the Chinese fortune symbol one, if you spend a lot of time looking at my belly. Maybe it will turn up again, maybe not.) So, I decided it was time to purchase some new jewelry.

Normally I shop at Tribalectic for body jewelry, but they haven't gotten in anything new for navels in quite a while, and I was starting to get a little bored. Since my piercing has been healed for years now, I figured I could try branching out and see what happened. I've looked in some real-life stores that sell navel jewelry - believe you me, I tried that first - but I don't actually need something that's UV reactive or has dice or a pot leaf hanging from it. Online we go!

It seems that the taste of body-jewelry buyers is improving. This I say. I looked on amazon.com, to see what I could see, and indeed, there were many lovely things TO see, and many of them were ranked high in the bestselling list. I ordered two pieces by Body Candy, which gets good reviews on the Intarweb. Can you guess what color they both were? Of course you can. I've gotten a little bit bored with the single-jeweled piercings I usually wear, so these will provide a bit of variety. They're cheap enough that if they don't work with my body chemistry or piercing depth (or if they're just not well-made enough) it won't be a big problem.

Here are some other things that I am tempted by:
Pearls! And they dangle! But not in an annoying way!
I love the color here.
I have one synthetic opal piece already, which I really like. This one has a great shape.
I don't know why I still don't have any ring jewelry for my navel.
Finally, I'm still tempted by this, even though it wouldn't go with anything of mine since it's gold.

In other news, I am planning on getting three more holes in my right ear. I'm hoping that will happen in the next few months. I'll keep you posted. And
