Distinguishing Bronze Jewelry
0
Bronze jewelry is made of the bronze alloy whose major component is copper. Bronze jewelry was very popular during the Bronze Age. However, this popularity declined with the onset of kingdoms and royalty and silver and gold jewelry became the only viable options for ornamentation as it was not in everybody’s purchasing power to buy these precious metals; therefore royalty and nobility were the only classes who could afford them. Donning precious metal jewelry made them exclusive and distinguished. Over time, accessorizing became open to common man and the usage of gold and silver became a lot less as cheaper yet more durable forms of jewelry were brought into the mainstream market.
The physical appearance of Bronze is very similar to that of burnished yellow gold and is therefore one of the most popular forms of costume jewelry that exists in India. The bronze jewelry that one sees in today’s times has been influenced by a variety of cultures such as Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Mughal and more. Some of the more popular bronze accessories one sees in India are chunky bangles and finger rings. Bronze pendants that come with a bronze chain as well as other types of necklaces are also very popular with younger women. The latest trend is to add enamel colors in either turquoise or red to the jewelry piece.
The versatility of bronze jewelry is what attracts many women. It can be worn with ethnic casual wear such as kurtis or kurtas and salwars as well as Indo-Western attires. Although it is not preferred as a formal-wear accessory (for instance when wearing a saree), many women prefer going for the Bohemian vibe and pair this unconventional duo too. The rise in popularity of Bronze jewelry is largely because of Bollywood starlets flaunting them both on and off the screen.
