Be a Bohemian Queen!
The term Bohemianism emerged in france 

in the early 19th century, when artists and creators began to concentrate in the lower-rent, lower class, Romanian neighborhoods. But in today, it represents a new attitude and style of expression of life that one resonates to have, in the form of creativity and carefreeness. Hence, we seem and heard about Bohemian (Boho) styles in fashion and jewelry around us. So, what is Bohemian (Boho) style really? 

The Boho style stems from an aesthetic origin. Even though some of the Boho fashion roots can be linked to the hippie fashion, its personality and lifestyle have been embraced by women in a huge way. It supports femininity and therefore, far from being unisex. 

You may have noticed that Bohemian or “Boho” jewelry has been making a comeback these past years. So just what is Bohemian Jewelry? It is jewelry that traditionally represents nature, with themes relating to the earth, sea and animals. Bohemian Style represents a relaxed, natural and peaceful life, with connections to the earth and the universe. 

Boho fashion is recognizable with its neutral shades and pops of color, loose flowing styles put together with a fitted counterparts (example is a flowy blouse with fitted blue jeans) and relaxed fabrics. 

 

Most often, it is jewelry made with stones, feathers, shells, beads, and sterling silver, copper or brass. It is worn alone, or in layers, is eclectic, and very personal. It represents “one of a kind” style, and is used to create an individual identity. 

The pops of color in Boho fashion are often achieved with the jewelry and other accessories. Jewelry with bright interesting stones, layers of beads and fringes, and bright shiny silver.

The most common types of Boho jewelry will include inexpensive semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli, labradorite, amethyst and quartz and more accessible, natural materials, such as leather, shell, string, base metals and cord. Boho jewelry is rarely expensive, as is typical for most counterculture fashion styles. However, we do see unique and pricey Boho jewelry fashioned out of genuine pearls and diamonds in vintage workmanship.

In terms of color, Boho jewelry tends to gravitate toward green, brown, orange and yellow colors that feel more natural. Still, other color schemes are also possible with bright red or blue colors, various shades of purple and pink. This is also why gemstones are popular as they bring color to the piece. Designs typically feature geometric shapes, natural motifs like sun, stars, animals and flowers, as well as spiritual motifs such as mandalas.

Choose pieces that you’re comfortable wearing and that suit you in terms of color and size. Just because something looks great on someone else doesn’t mean that it’ll necessarily look great on you. Always pick pieces that you feel suit you.
