History of Goth Jewelry
The word gothic can any number of things, especially looking back over the history of art, design, and even clothing and jewelry. When it is used historically, the origins of the word Goth refers to the 2nd to 6th Century AD among tribes of Germanic people. My the Middle Ages gothic began to align with a style of design found with cathedrals that spread over Europe. While this was popular for a time, during the Renaissance there was backlash and so in many ways goth became a derogatory term that was “barbaric” compared to classical looks and designs.
But it was the Middle Ages and Renaissance where many of the design aspects of the goth look took shape. This then can (sometimes) be found in goth jewelry.
Though many of it is connected to what gothic design looked like in Victorian England. Queen Victoria is often associated with a gothic revival of that era, which included jewelry.
Also by the 19th Century goth and gothic began to be associated with mystery and horror. That is when we began to see it associated with writers and artists such as Mary Shelley and Edgar Allen Poe. Many goth jewelry and clothing styles are associated with this tradition, so have a horror bend to it. While others are connected to the aforementioned Victorian era.
Fast forward to the 1970s and in the UK, and the goth aesthetic began to merge this long history into modern culture and sensibilities. Young people liked the style. It became its own type of revival in goth music, movies, and clothing such as what is associated with Velvet Underground, Bauhaus, and Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu.
This influences goth jewelry of the 1980s and after.
With all that in mind, we can look at new goth jewelry available now and see the long history and aesthetic involved with bringing us some of the coolest designs and gothy looks ever put on our bodies.
