Animals and jewelry

Animal-inspired jewelry has always been present in our lives decorating the bodies of men and women. At the beginning, bones, skins and skulls of animals were used. Then, over the centuries, jewelry took wildlife as a source of inspiration, without the need to harm any living being.

Animals have become an inspiration for the creation of jewelry because they give the pieces strength, personality and rebelliousness, among other features. There is no animal that is excluded, we can find from insects, such as spiders, flies or dragonflies, to more majestic animals, such as lions, tigers, peacocks, bears, among others.

Animal figures can be found in any type of jewelry: bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, or brooches. This theme is not enclosed only under a style, but we find an infinity of them that have fallen under the spell of the animal world. We find elegant, fine, robust, rock, formal and informal pieces.

But the animal spirit in jewelry is not only based on literally representing animals, but is inspired by their shapes, textures and colors, to create prints, drawings, and structures that are not reminiscent of animals. The maximum exponent of this trend is the classic print called animal print, and more than one knows what trend we are referring to. It is about decorating jewelry by recreating the skin of animals, for example, leopard spots, zebra, reptile skin, are the most common.

At the beginning, these patterns started by recreating a realistic pattern with the real colors of the animals. But nowadays this trend has resurfaced with more artificial colors such as yellows, pinks, or blues. This gives jewelry, and even watches, a more fantasy look.

Animal jewelry are decorative pieces but some of them have a meaning of their own, beyond the personal. This is the case of the panther that since ancient times represented the symbol of power, seduction and triumph. It was so important that it ended up being incorporated by the great jewelers of the time in their collections.

Great personalities of all times have fallen at the feet of this wonderful feline. The history of jewelry based on the animal world includes different important personalities. This is the case of Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, son of Sultan Aga Khan III, who over the years commissioned numerous pieces of this feline for his wives.

Like butterflies, they are usually sweet and kind people, despite having gone through problems, they are not angry with the world.

 

Feline: felines, like cats or lions, balance with independent and persevering people because they are very individualistic animals that love to feel independent, this helps them to know more about themselves.
