Hello my dear readers. The East has always fascinated and attracted Western minds with its wisdom and mystery.
In addition to the gastronomic features that have always attracted travelers to the Eastern countries, there are also oriental decorations that can be seen today, for example, in the popular Turkish TV series “The Magnificent Age” or in the Brazilian “Clone”, which describes the life of the Moroccans.
Amazing oriental-style gold and silver jewelry, as well as oriental gold jewelry, are in fashion today.
Arabic, Indian, Turkic — bright, colorful oriental ornaments on the arms, legs, hair, beads and necklaces, as well as earrings — all this is in great demand among modern fashionistas.
Oriental gold jewelry
Usually in the East gold is worn only by women and in large quantities. That is why oriental gold jewelry is massive and attracts everyone’s attention.
Oriental-style bracelets can be several inches thick, gold is used in red or yellow, white is rarely used, and even if used, it is considered a western trend.
In addition, bracelets adorning hands are very popular. They are long, with a ring on the middle finger.
There are bracelets with rings on all fingers. Golden oriental chandelier earrings are dangling, heavy, often decorated with stones. They need to be worn only «on the way out», as they expand the hole from the puncture. Gold medallions are also decorated with large natural stones and can be made in the form of symbols — for example, a crescent moon, words from the Koran, the words «Allah» or «hands of Fatima».
Oriental silver jewelry
Women in the East also love silver jewelry. It is as popular a material as gold, and when making jewelry, you will not regret it. Only high-quality silver is used, with a rich decor of embossing, engraving, enamel and black ink.
A very popular silver jewelry that all tourists want to bring from Egypt is the cartouche.
This is a medallion on which the name of a man is stamped with embossed ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. This decoration is cheap, but it looks very original.
Large massive earrings, bracelets, hair ornaments and oriental-style silver necklaces are also very popular. They are often complemented by coral inserts and natural semi-precious stones. Women’s silver rings also come in large sizes, always decorated with stones or pearls.
Jewelry from different metals
Very popular in the East and other decorations. Other semi-precious materials are used to make bracelets for arms and legs, necklaces, and head ornaments. Beaded threads, for example, are arranged in several rows, and their number can reach ten or more, because the main principle of oriental jewelry is massiveness. In addition, they are combined with corals, natural semi-precious stones — jasper, amber, turquoise and others. They are often complemented by chains, pendants, coins.
With what and where to wear oriental jewelry?
Oriental jewelry is very bright and massive, so it attracts a lot of attention. They are certainly not suitable for office work, business meetings and similar events.
But if you wear them to a party, your image is sure to be remembered by everyone. They will be a great addition to any evening dress, the main thing is to choose everything correctly and not overdo it.
In addition, oriental ornaments are also suitable for ethno style. This style is suitable for bright bracelets decorated with snake heads, double-sided pendants with oriental symbols, ornaments with images of fauna and flora.
Keep in mind that oriental jewelry looks best in the warm season. In addition, such jewelry is best worn as a set — for example, oriental-style beads, earrings, rings and bracelets — so you will look more extravagant and spectacular.
