Boho Earrings

The term ‘boho’ comes from bohemian culture and fashion, which is well-known for its free-spirited and traditionally nomadic lifestyle. 

Bohemians were and still are expressive and creative with their clothes and jewellery, which included many patterns, bold colours, and experimentation. They pride themselves on being individuals and refuse to be influenced by mainstream fashion. 

In today’s fashion, the boho style has slowly yet surely adopted itself into popular trends. For example, layered necklaces and mixed materials like sterling silver and gold, which we see a lot of today, are inspired by the boho style. 

Boho jewellery tends to be statement pieces that mix and match materials and design elements such as gemstones, shells, and even handmade earrings and material patterns. You will also tend to see spiritual and naturalistic aspects in boho jewellery. This could include crystals, animals, or flowers, to name a few.

Despite being common fixtures in music festivals such as Coachella, Boho fashion and its jewellery have a long history dating back around 200 years.

It is said to have begun with the Romani people of the 19th century, who adopted a nomadic lifestyle. During this time, boho fashion looked very different from how it is today, but the key components remain. 

They wore bright colours and natural woven materials to make it known to everyone else that they had no interest in following their conventional way of life. The philosophy may have stayed with them, but the fashion soon proved popular with others.

Now, the bohemian style is known as the boho, and its jewellery is found in every corner of the world. One of its main goals is to tell a story, and as it becomes more widespread, the jewellery style is developing and allowing different cultures to adopt their own meaning.  

Boho chic has a modern twist compared to the typical boho style. 

Boho chic takes elements from boho, such as natural patterns and accessories, but finetunes them to suit professional or upper-class environments. Boho chic is also great for everyday wear as it tends to be quite simple, with staple pieces that are well-tailored to the body and have natural tones. 

Regarding jewellery, you will find boho chic will still have a free-spirit essence but won’t be as expressive as traditional boho jewellery. This can look like studs, small hoops, or a fine necklace instead of chunky, layered pieces.

One of the best things about the boho style is that it isn’t limited to colour. Some may like to wear vibrant, bold colours, whereas others prefer to embody the natural environment with greens, blues, and browns. 

This also extends to jewellery; colours can vary depending on the material, whether it be sterling silver, wood, pearls, or others.
