For quite a while now I’m very into ethnic jewelry – heavy, intricate and meaningful. I want to be clad head to toe in these chains, pendants, necklaces, headpieces, bracelets etc. like an ancient statue from a hindu temple. Also I’m thinking a lot about that Balenciaga fw0708 collection. Seems to me that it’s time for cyber-ethno to be back again sending a new fashion tribes along the runways (sounds so cliche – maybe I read too much runway reviews)). On a side-note: silver and piercing is also very 90s which adds to their cool factor because right now this fashion decade gets a lot of attention from the designers and stylists.
Anna Schwamborn- ” Mourning objects’- jewellery made from human hair and dead people’s ash ( mixed with highest quality black bone china). There are a rosary, a necklace and a watch chain tear catcher- ‘these objects are supposed to be worn close to the body of the mourner symbolizing a lasting physical connection between two individuals even after death’. I think it’s not that weird as it may seem, just remember those relics jewellery of Medieval ages and hair jewellery of 19th century.
