The general term for any number of kinds of adornments worn through a [[Piercing|piercing]], body jewelry can include barbells, rings, twists, spirals, hooks, weights, and many other designs, and be made out of virtually any solid or amorphous solid material under the sun.
:''"It is of all times for people to wear jewelry. Earrings, make-up and more recently tattoos and piercings are accepted forms of body cosmetics. Surprisingly, no jewelry is available for the organ that is most important in social interactions, the eye."''<br/>
—NIIOS, Cosmetic Extraocular Implant PR


It is now possible to place an '''eyeball implant''' into the surface of the white of the eye. Not only is it possible, but, at least in the Netherlands (where euthanasia is also allowed), it is a legal procedure offered by eye clinics under the brand name '''JewelEye'''.

:''In 2002 the Netherlands Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery developed an implant that can be implanted within the superficial, interpalpebral conjunctiva. The implant does not interfere with the ocular functions, ie the visual performance and motility. The implant is made of a specially designed material that can be molded in all kinds of desired shapes and sizes.''

:''In my view, it is a little more subtle than (body) piercing. It is a bit of a fun thing and a very personal thing for people.

The jewelry itself is of a platinum alloy about 1/8" across, and having it inserted is done under a local anesthetic starting at about $750. The procedure takes about 15 minutes. As of this entry's writing, seven implants of this type have been performed, and the clinic claims to have a waiting list of people wanting more.
