Glow Jewellery

Glow sticks first came on the scene in the early seventies and gained almost instant popularity with campers and divers. In fact they were actually developed by the US Navy for use in underwater diving missions, especially at night. You see, divers needed a lighter and more reliable way to see underwater than waterproof flashlights that would often run out of juice at inopportune times.

What exactly is a glow stick? Well, it is really nothing more than a plastic stick that contains certain substances that produce light thorough a chemical reaction. These items can be used by just about anyone, since they are non-toxic and they do not produce any heat. Millions of them are sold each year all over the world.

And although glow sticks still lead the market companies have started to produce numerous glow in the dark items based on the chemical reaction that the glow stick utilises. One of the most popular new additions to the glow in the dark industry is glow jewellery. We are talking about glow bracelets , earrings, necklaces, watches and broaches.

Though glow jewellery does use the same substances on the inside, the design is much different from the standard glow stick, necklaces or bracelets. This jewellery often uses magnets to attach to clothing. These decorative pieces are available in many interesting and exotic colours and designs.

And just like glow sticks, they are non-toxic, waterproof, and will last for an average of four years, if properly maintained. Glow jewellery is a great novelty item for any outdoor party, gathering, or concert.
