It is undeniable that piercings have become a global trend for years now. From typical earrings, we have moved on to piercings in many other parts of the body, even becoming one of the most in-demand pieces of jewelry, especially among young people.
Their aesthetic value is beyond doubt, but did you know that their position on each part of our body also corresponds to a specific meaning?
Piercings have become distinctive features that, in addition to functioning as decorative elements of our appearance, somehow shape our personality to the outside world.
That's why at Mumit, we have committed ourselves to offering you an exclusive collection of luxury 18K gold piercings for women, adapted to the latest trends, fusing gold with the unique brilliance of diamonds and precious stones.
While it is true that some wear them only for the appeal of their design, it is worthwhile to know the meaning of each piercing before getting any type of perforation.
Types of piercings and their meaning
Before going into detail, it is important to note that the meaning of piercings in each part of the body is truly subjective, as for each person the motivations or reasons for getting a piercing or choosing one type of piercing or another are different and in many cases directly respond to entirely personal reasons. Once this is clarified, it is also true that culturally, a series of popular meanings have been associated with each piercing and its placement.
What does an ear piercing mean?
Currently, ear piercings are solely for aesthetic reasons. Today, there are many types of piercings, but in ancient times, they held other connotations regarding their meaning. In fact, we discuss in detail the evolution of the role of these jewels in our article on the history of piercing.
Depending on its placement in different parts of the ear, piercings are categorized in one way or another. Although classic earlobe earrings never go out of style, the trends of recent years have been especially marked by the tragus piercing, placed in the cartilaginous area in the center of the ear closest to the face, and the helix piercing, which is located in the upper outer cartilage area and takes its name from the word helix.
Mumit's collection of Helix Piercings with diamonds set in 18K gold helps to highlight the delicate curves of your ear. If you want to dare with a helix piercing, we encourage you to admire the Rosette Trilogy Climber Piercing Earring with Diamonds in 18K White Gold. It consists of three rosettes, which resemble a six-petal rose. Its design makes this piece of jewelry ideal for any angle of the ear: its pressure back allows you to wear it both in the helix and in the lobe.
The nose piercing
This type of piercing originated in India and was used to symbolize wealth to others. Currently, there is no specific attributable meaning beyond the presumed aesthetic motives. However, it is worth noting how its placement has varied from both sides of the nose to its central cartilage, in the case of the known septum, or even to the upper part of the nose with the earl or bridge piercing.
As you may have observed, the meaning of piercings has varied over the years, and if anything is clear, it is that today their choice is practically exclusively for aesthetic and decorative reasons. This is why there is such a variety of models to choose from, so you can always find the design that best suits your preferences. Mumit's gold piercing section is the best example of this, with a wide variety of piercings of many types, ranging from lobe piercings to hoop piercings.
