Earrings can make all the difference in your rockabilly ensemble. Add some spice to your finished look with these rockabilly styles.

Simply defined, earrings are kind of decorative item for ears. Their name comes from their original and most common annular shape. Now, the more accurate definition of earrings is that they are often girl’s best friends and a determinant of the style. Not only women, but men also enjoy upgrading their image using these accessories. Through the history, the earrings have had many roles in traditional, social and fashion context. Today it can also be an interesting indicator of a person’s attitude, habits and style.

There are two basic kinds of earrings – the clip-on and piercing styles. Also, there are many subtypes of this jewelry. We differentiate them by their size, shape, pendants, materials etc. Also, for the piercing it is very important where are they settled. Traditionally, they are placed on the earlaps, but nowadays, it can be in any part of the lobe. Earrings have their special names based on their position: helix, industrial, rook, daith, tragus, snug, conch, anti-tragus and lobe.

The history of earrings is very long – they are among the oldest ways of decorating the body. There are many archaeological, and even one Biblical proof for that. They have had different roles in every culture and different meaning. It is known that men wearing earring isn’t a modern phenomenon. Even William Shakespeare, as well as many other important poets, had a pierced ear lobe. The African tribes also have interesting ways of piercing ears. Their ear decorations take an important place in tribal culture and beliefs. They often wear plugs and tunnels. Inspired by such accessories, we have created our own line of jewelry available here.

Bracelets – History, Meaning, and Rockabilly Style

Being a true lady implies that you will always pay attention to every detail, with a special focus on jewelry. Therefore, bracelets are probably an important part of your everyday combinations.

The word “bracelet” is from French language and, literally translated, it means “arm ring”. Although it is mostly regarded as an ornament and fashion detail, bracelet is actually an important and interesting, history-rich item.

At first, bracelets were worn not only for aesthetic purposes, but for religious reasons as well. The oldest bracelet is worn in Southern Mesopotamia around 2500 BC, while it was also worn in Egypt around 2000 BC. However, newer studies show that bracelet could be worn in Egypt in 5000 BC! How amazing! Bracelet went through a personal evolution, changing its purpose, looks and materials. At first, it was made of bones, and later came the leather, cloth, wood, metal etc.

In different cultures, bracelets have different significance. In Greece and Bulgaria, for example, women wear special bracelets in order to please spring goddesses and make spring come sooner. In India, there’s something more than a belief related to the bracelets – it is considered that bracelets (as well as anklets) stimulate the acupressure points of the uterus.
