Why Gothic Jewelry is So Cool
We now live at a time where it is more and more difficult to keep a sense and appearance of individuality. Do you want to be noticed and let your own real personality come through? Do you feel hemmed in by what others consider ‘fashion’. Could an answer be to go Gothic? Often by returning to the past you can discover and re-invent a whole new forgotten World. That’s where choosing gothic jewellery can help you to jump out of the box and become you. You no longer have to hidden in the crowd.
Gothic jewelry takes us back to a medieval era where people wanted to look mysterious, unorthodox, and sometimes even wild. There were no boundaries or rules, nobody to force their idea of what style should resemble or to brainwash you with what was supposedly ‘in’. If you look at gothic jewelry collections of bracelets, bangles, black pendants, black necklaces and pandora style charms they shout out ‘individuality’.
Using stainless steel, leather and sterling silver as a base and then adding intricate designs, personalized engravings, beads and stones, they will show off how you want others to regard you as a person. The Gothic style also makes the pieces extremely touchable, you will often find yourself touching the jewelry and other people will be unable to resist a closer look or even a touch.
Gothic jewelry is all about highlighting your character and personality, amplifying your physical attributes. When you pick a piece of gothic jewelry think about the color of your eyes, hair and skin, what will work for you? Do you suit small or large pieces of jewelry? Remember, the object of Gothic jewelry is to make you feel attractive, different, confident, stylish and individual. Get away to the wild side of your personality. There are no rules, you can add it to anything, you can wear it at anytime, and you can even find new ways of wearing it. Who said a necklace had to be put around the neck or a bracelet around the wrist. Pick adventure, be Gothic.
Take some time to look back at illustrations of the Gothic period and you will perhaps find some totally fresh ideas of how to wear jewelry. Many people think it was all about doom and darkness, it wasn’t at all. It was an exciting time when people wore whatever they wanted, individuality was in charge. At times Gothic Jewelry was an alternative to being fully clothed, a decoration to adorn areas of bare skin, to exaggerate and embellish your best features, beautiful hair, necks, legs, arms, hands, feet, ankles, wrists, eyes, facial features.
Remember Gothic means no rules, it’s your body, your personality, you decide what you want to be at all times.
By selecting various pieces of gothic jewelry you are not even restricted to just one look, experiment with various items. Whatever you wear – bikini, t-shirt, jeans, evening dress, business suit, uniform – there is an item of Gothic jewelry that will make you stand out from others. It doesn’t even have to be so obvious, but people will notice there is something unusual about you and wonder why?
