The second position is occupied by objects that have been made to have concept or intention and that have been made with the body in mind is “appropriately termed Body Art” (Astvalk, Broadhead, Derrez 2005:19). This is where the concept or idea that the item of jewellery possesses becomes the main aspect of the piece. This allows the object of jewellery to merge with the body (Astvalk, Broadhead, Derrez 2005:19).
