Antique Bracelets - Be Fashionably Old This Season
Being old fashioned is no longer the taboo it once was, thanks to the demand for antique jewellery. The more you turn back the clock, the more "in" your sartorial sense is assumed to be. Fashion watchers have always talked about a cycle in fashion - trends never really go permanently out of style, they are simply recycled. Take the case of bell bottom trousers, denim jackets, tote bags, pencil heels, and now, jewellery that is designed on the lines of Victorian, Renaissance, and even Egyptian pharaonic dynasty items.
But we are talking about the real thing - antique jewellery, not jewelry made to imitate old styles. Antique bracelets are a good accessory to dangle on your arm this summer - their graceful lines, skilled workmanship, and "antique" tag is bound to grab eyeballs.
Understanding Antique Jewellery
There are two aspects to antique bracelets: age and country of origin. Depending on these two, the styles, designs, and motifs will vary. The problem with buying antique jewellery is that you may not know all the options you have. To understand the range of historical bracelets available for buyers, they need to understand cultural norms, styles, and symbolic meaning behind bracelet design when they were crafted.
For example, you may feel that antique bracelets from Russia featuring birds is something only a teenager would wear; but the fact is that birds in Russia are seen as symbols of love and stability. So it won't be inappropriate to wear them at a relaxed lunch with friends or on a date.
Same goes for Egyptian antique jewellery, modeled on the lines of the treasures found in the massive tombs of Egyptian rulers. For Egyptians, each color and precious or semi precious stone or mineral signified some concept. Red was respected for its boldness and energy, orange was somewhat dubious because it was supposed to bring bad luck . Red jasper however was used only at funerals - more specifically, it was used in making ornaments for the deceased. Green was an auspicious color, signifying fertility and nature in full bloom.
To actually stand out in a crowd, your antique bracelets must match your dress and also be in tune with the occasion. For that, you need deeper understanding of the symbolism of jewelry in the days gone by. That is how you will be able to make a powerful style statement.
