Buy Jewelry Online And Experience Lots Of Animal Magic

By Adrian Jones


Jewellery Designers Have Long Been Known To Work With Pets or Animals as Art

Any time you buy jewelry online you may find some exotic items available for sale as you are looking around. Seemingly some jewellery designers have begun a trend of utilizing real animals in the middle of their jewelry pieces. There is no doubt however that anytime you buy jewelry online from Orkney, the creatures are simply representations hand made in silver or gold.

Examples of the more macabre pieces from other creative designers have a mouse lying on a cushion in a locket or a tiny rodent body inside of a brooch. These items feature genuine taxidermy.

After all, barely a century or so ago, it was popular to add the hair of a much loved individual who passed away, inside a locket. Consequently the hair of a deceased person was completely acceptable within the grieving process. These things were known as memento mori and were a celebration or emotional tribute to death (or life, maybe).

Animal Owners Also Buy Jewelry Online

The age-old Egyptians loved to keep animals in mummified form. But that was all related to the afterlife and worshipping some wildlife as deities. In Scotland it is not uncommon to see stuffed deer heads including antlers adorning the rooms of country houses and inns. But should we want deceased animals hanging around our necks?

Now some creative designers have taken this a step forward by making interesting but weird works of jewelry art by utilizing the body parts of dead creatures. The bodies of small animals are preserved using taxidermy methods.

They've also cast using the bodies or bones too. Examples include rat skulls dangling from a necklace and other fragile animal bones and even pigeon wing headpieces. It sounds as if vermin such as grey squirrel, fox and carrion crow may also be popular. Even Roadkill is falling victim now to designers!

Some stylists and their clients also find insects, such as beetles, appealing. However if you buy jewelry online from our www.olagoriejewellery.com Orkney website and want animals or wildlife you're more likely to find cute owls and chic swans or comical puffins in silver or gold among the many collections, rather than bone, feather and fur. If you are after drawing attention or want a talking piece obviously pick jewelry with animal body parts. Click here for Orkney jewellery which is guaranteed free from animal origins and is therefore perfect for vegetarians and those who love classical designs.
