Types of Halloween Jewelry
The choice of jewelry will depend on the occasion to which it is to be worn. There are many different types of Halloween jewelry, ranging from fun and funky jewelry like cute pumpkin earrings to ornate Gothic inspired pendants that are the perfect accompaniment to a glamorous vampire costume. Some interesting Halloween themed ideas for jewelry that will complement a Halloween outfit include:
Skeleton Jewelry
Skeletons can be sinister and somber or cute and cartoon like. They are often featured dangling from earrings and other items of jewelry. When the skeletons are formed from several parts, they sway gently and look as though they are dancing. These can often be found in both precious metals which makes them a wonderful item of jewelry to wear every year or in cheap and cheerful plastics and acrylics which can be discarded after being worn a couple of times.
Ghosts and Ghouls
Another popular Halloween icon is the image of a white ghost with vacant staring eyes. These translate into fun items of jewelry and can make a good alternative for someone looking for something a little different.
Bats
Bats, including the Vampire bat, are popular Halloween images. They make great charms and look fantastic when hung from bracelets or worn as pendants. Charms are often made from metals such as silver or from silver plated metal.
Witches and Spells
The silhouette of a witch, flying across the moon on her broomstick is very evocative and this simple image is used in many different ways. This makes a great pin or brooch and they are also often featured on Italian charms.
Pumpkins
Halloween jewelry often features pumpkins as these are the ideal shape to be made into many types of jewelry. These can be found made from precious metals such as silver and gold or from brightly colored plastics.
Jewelry to Add Glamour to a Halloween Outfit
If you don't fancy a pumpkin or skeleton dangling from your jewelry, an alternative is to look for jewelry that will add glamor or complement a Halloween outfit. This needn't feature a Halloween image at all, instead it might simply be created using Halloween type colors or have a distinctive Victorian or Gothic style. This includes:
- Long black strands of beads - These beaded necklaces can look glamorous and very 'Elvira'
- Red choker - A blood red velvet choker looks fantastic with a variety of outfits yet is also very dramatic
- Vintage styled jewelry - Any vintage or antique style jewelry will add a touch of class to a Halloween dress and is very much in the Halloween tradition
- Large rings - Dramatic rings are wonderful to wear and are very Gothic in their appearance; team these with dark painted nails to make a real Halloween statement!
