Wholesale Gothic & Vampire Jewelry - Rings, Bracelets, Necklaces, Pendants
While jewelry designers have incorporated Gothic symbols into the metal of rings, bracelets, medallions and pendants, they have not overlooked the diverse places in which a celebrity or an average young person might choose to wear a piece of jewelry. They have fashioned Gothic symbols into belts, buckles, key chains, tie clasps and cufflinks.
Sometimes celebrities have called for the making of a special Gothic item. A few celebrities have been photographed wearing custom made wallet chains, or smoking cigars with Gothic like cigar rings. On rare occasions, a member of the paparazzi has caught a celebrity using a sliver cigarette lighter, one decorated with a Gothic symbol.
In fact the variety within the area of silver Gothic jewelry seems to have no bounds. At least one jewelry designer has been commissioned to create silver shoe lace tips and silver lined holes. Perhaps a future celebrity bride might elect to wear a Gothic like silver tiara.
While some sort of cross appears to be the most common item found on a silver piece of Gothic jewelry, the cross was not the only symbol used in the original Gothic art and architecture. Consequently, the cross is not the only symbol found on the many pieces of Gothic styled jewelry. The designers of such jewelry .have studied each of the symbols of the varied ancient cultures.
Those designers have, for instance, learned about how ancient Egyptians viewed the sun. They saw the sun as something that “rolled across the sky.” The Egyptians could also see scarab beetles rolling across the leaves of various shrubs. The Egyptians thus came to associate the scarab beetle with the sun.
At the same time, Egyptians witnessed the daily flight of the scarab beetle. They knew that the beetle lives underground, but comes to the surface at noon, when it they flies into the air. For that reason, Egyptians chose to make the scarab beetle a symbol of resurrection.
Since many people view the cross as a symbol of resurrection, and since the cross is often found on sliver Gothic jewelry, almost any symbol of resurrection can be found on a piece of Gothic jewelry. Thus it should come as no surprise that the designers of such jewelry sometimes fashion a beetle like creature onto their silver creations.
