Halloween or all saints ‘ eve is extremely popular. People have fun dressing up in costumes of witches, wizards, and other mythical, supernatural (often not the most cute) creatures. Dark attributes of the Gothic style can be very useful for creating such images. Read about what jewelry you should pay attention to if you want to Shine at the “scariest” party of the year.

Dark beginnings

The mood is set by the very atmosphere of the holiday: the center of attention of jewelers is black — it is thematically associated with dark forces, night time, and is also the main one for the Gothic subculture. Choosing jewelry with this color decor for Halloween, you will not lose: a ring with an agate stone or black finish, a bracelet with shungite or a pendant made of black silver — what you need to create a “twilight” image.

Dark colors “play” more strongly if they are part of contrasting combinations. This is also true for jewelry. In the case of Gothic versions, silver and recently fashionable steel serve as an excellent basis — the cold Shine of these alloys reminds of the moonlight — another Association with night. Even if you do not dare to try on a dark image, silver jewelry-chains, pendants, earrings-will set you apart from the crowd of masks.

Skull and bones

Products decorated with metal elements in the form of skulls are created for bold, shocking personalities. As a rule, these are brutal accessories — men’s bracelets, rings, pendants. Rough shape, “frightening” design are in demand not only on October 31, such items are worn by fans of heavy rock, bikers.

In the collections of famous jewelry companies, there are steel rings with skulls, decorated with floral ornaments and plant patterns. There is nothing wrong with this-such accessories are associated with the Mexican holiday-the Day of the dead, the skull in this case does not symbolize the fear of death, but a reminder of it.Bracelets are also often decorated with beads-skulls. These spectacular steel inserts are perfectly combined with natural materials: leather, stones of dark colors, even on a narrow wrist, such products look decent.

Once upon a time there was a black cat around the corner…

Echoing the Gothic style with its wide system of subjects, designers make jewelry with three-dimensional figures, transforming Halloween themes into jewelry art. The interest of the leading masters was earned not only by black cats — in traditional Western beliefs, assistants of witches, but also frogs, snakes, Scorpions, spiders.

Animals made from jewelry alloys look amazing. A sparkling spider pendant studded with cubic Zirconia or a silver bracelet with a toad will attract attention. Often, such jewelry is covered with rhodium, so they Shine and become scratch-resistant, which means they are suitable for permanent wear. Such products are inexpensive, so they are often purchased to give to friends on the eve of the holiday.

In the style of the Addams family

Even if your standard is a classic, we advise you to deviate a little from the rules and “hooligan” on Halloween: one eccentric decoration can enliven a strict office image, emphasize individuality. A steel spider on the lapel of a jacket, a thin chain with a miniature owl, a necklace in the form of a snake-courage and breaking the rules in the context of fashion allow you to find inner freedom, opening up creativity. A little Sass on this day doesn’t hurt anyone, does it?
