Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

It is common to consider that Gothic jewelry mirrors the spookiness, coldness, and darkness of the Goths who rock it. Stereotypes regarding Gothic have firmly entrenched in the heads of the everymen and it’s hard to tell which are true and which are misbelieves. Today, we are going to play Mythbusters to dispel erroneous perceptions about Gothic jewelry.

Gothic Jewelry is Monochrome

It is believed that Gothic items are either silver or black. Indeed, those are the most popular hues of ‘regular’ Goths’ outfits. Nevertheless, this jewelry style is much more diverse than these two colors. More often than not, Gothic rings, necklaces, pendants, and other accessories are embellished with precious stones, gems, and enamel. Those can carry literally any shade but the most canonic colors are blue, green, purple, and red. If you look at Goths’ outfits, on the whole, you will see many vibrant accents, although the leading color is mostly black, indeed.

Verdict: Busted.

Gothic Accepts only Dark Colors

If we put bright accents aside, Gothic fashion revolves around dark colors, mostly black. This is true in regards to Traditional Goths, Victorian Goths, Vampire Goths, and other styles that have severed from ‘classic’ all-black Goths. At the same time, there are also White Goths that share the ideology, views, and fashion style of their black peers but with a difference – they flaunt white apparel. Clothes and jewelry different from black can also be seen on followers of other Gothic sub-styles such as glitter Goths, Gothic Lolitas, J-Goths, etc. Even more or less traditional Goths (for instance, Antique Goths and Victorian Goths) wear white color jewelry adorned with white pearls.

Verdict: Busted

Gothic Jewelry is Macabre 

Gothic pendants, earrings, bracelets, and rings feature many mysterious and sometimes even eerie symbols – pentagrams, inverted crossed, alchemic signs, Ankhs, bats, Baphometh images, etc. People often don’t understand what those symbols mean that’s why they mistakenly regard Goths as Satanists. In fact, Gothic has little in common with Satanism (although some individuals may simultaneously belong to both subcultures). Besides these spooky images, Gothic has adopted many cute and sometimes even romantic symbols – roses, hearts, dragons, cats, the moon, knights’ swords and shields, floral patterns. As you can see, Gothic is different; in this diverse subculture mysterious signs side by side with romantic symbols.

Verdict: Busted

Gothic is an Ancient Subculture 

Gothic as an art / architecture style appeared in the middle ages. About 800 years ago people started building majestic gabled temples with characteristic stained glass vaulted arches. You have probably seen many Gothic Cathedrals in Europe. These elongated shapes, intricate stained glass patterns, and quirky creatures incorporated into the façade designs have given inspiration to Gothic fashion. The style further evolved in the Victorian era and then experienced a new revival in 1970s-80s. In modern Gothic jewelry, you can clearly trace the influence of Medieval Gothic. Along with that, post-industrial trends made their own contribution, which have lead to such diversions as Cyber Goths or Steam-punk Goth, who, understandably, have little in common with ancient Gothic.

Verdict: Confirmed.

Summing up, Gothic is a multi-faceted subculture that consists of many diverse sub-groups. Jewelry rocked by Gothic enthusiasts can vary from dark, aerie, and mysterious to sublime, feminine, and elegant.
