What's Your Jewelry Style?
Q.I like abalone jewelry; I just love the color. Does anyone else have abalone? I am considering buying some online, but I don't know much about what to watch for. Does anyone have any experiences doing this?
A.I'm quite happy, I love Celtic jewelry, especially how it's not often done in gold (which went out really I think at the end of 92 when the 90s proper began). Of course, the materials are available quite inexpensively because they're not gold, so making one's own jewelry (fun and easy) is really quite practical now. The goth influence has been really tremendous, I wonder if the goth high point is coming up... I think a lot of things we wear come completely from the goth scene, though we never thought about it (the leather trend, the boots, the belts, the silver/chrome/pewter/white gold, the celtic jewelry). Even you can see Versace's punk safety pins (goth came from punk) and some of Mugler's work... though really I don't know if goth will become main stream, it may depend on whether after the turn of the millenium people decide to take a white & blue purity/minimalist/futurist approach or whether we go for the gothic punk degenerate industrial post-atomic horror thing... I'm very excited.
