Anchor bracelet
The trend of recent seasons is an anchor bracelet. Such an accessory brings a unique lightness to the lady's image, which will always be in fashion. Let's take a closer look at such interesting products.
Features and Benefits
Women's images in a nautical style will always be relevant. They can be classified as classics that will never leave the ranks of fashion.
Every year, at fashion shows, we can see models showcasing stylish outfits with stripes, similar to a vest, or trendy sky-colored trousers, complemented by rope knots. This season, marine notes are no less relevant.
At the peak of popularity are charming bracelets decorated with interesting pendants in the form of an anchor. They look great on a lady's hand.
In our country, the popularity of such jewelry was influenced by the designer Ilya Trixi. It all started from childhood. His beloved grandfather presented him with various coins, shells, folding knives and other similar things.
These small surprises inspired Ilya to create a nautical bracelet with a miniature anchor. Later, he founded his own brand called Tricksy. Today, original accessories can be found in many retail outlets in cities and online stores.
There are many different types of these bracelets today. The selection of the ideal option depends only on your desires.
It is worth noting the unobtrusiveness of such bracelets. They do not look heavy and heavy, which allows them to harmoniously fit into many ladies' looks.
Trendy accessories can be not only single, but also double or triple. Such products are complemented not only with small anchors, but also with other decorative details in a nautical style. They can be decorated with a steering wheel or compass.
What does it mean?
Trendy anchor jewelry has several meanings.
- For seafarers, the anchor evokes loyalty, hope and success in life. This is due to the fact that many sailors left anchors in their native places. They believed that this would guarantee their return home safe and sound.
- During early Christianity, the anchor was considered a veiled version of the cross. Nowadays, it has lost this meaning, but young guys often turn to it (as an alternative cross).
- Romantic natures have always treated the anchor symbol in a special way. He evokes in them associations with distant shores, sea spaces and amazing adventures. A bracelet with such a detail can be presented as a gift to a person who likes to take risks and follow romantic impulses.
Materials (edit)
Modern manufacturers offer consumers a wide range of beautiful and original bracelets with anchors. They fit perfectly into many ladies' looks. The selection of the ideal option depends on your desires and tastes.
From beads
A sea bracelet made of glass or basalt beads of different colors looks great on a lady's handle.
Such accessories are distinguished by their original and striking design, which is able to attract the attention of others. The ideal option can be found in any color scheme. Beads can be dyed in both classic and rich colors.
Such beautiful handmade bracelets are offered by the Mariner brand. In them, the anchor can play the role of not only a suspension, but also a fastener.
Suede
Lace bracelets made of velvety suede look no less beautiful. Against the background of such material, additions in the form of anchors stand out very effectively. Usually, the length of such products can be adjusted at your discretion (using special loops).
Decorative anchors can be made of completely different materials, but jewelry brass with an antique effect looks especially harmonious against the background of suede.
Similar jewelry is produced by the Anchorstuff brand. In the arsenal of this company there are laconic models in 2, 3 and 4 turns. All bracelets are handmade.
From rubber
Recently, jewelry made of rubber has become very fashionable. This material is very malleable and has a matte surface. Various pendants fit perfectly against the background of such a lace. The anchor is no exception.
A rubber bracelet with a polished plate with a three-dimensional image of an anchor will look especially original and effective on a lady's wrist.
Such jewelry is distinguished by its solid and effective design, but you need to be very careful with them. Rubber does not tolerate collisions with water and household chemicals. A favorite product can lose its flexibility and break if you do not protect it from negative influences.
Very beautiful and original options are offered to consumers by such a brand as Everoit.
Leather
Leather bracelets are among the most popular and common. They look very solid and harmonious in many looks.
With the help of products made of genuine leather, you can emphasize a bright individuality and make the image more original. Such beautiful and presentable accessories are produced by the popular brand Kiel James Patrick.
High quality handmade jewelry is produced under this famous name. The brand's collections are presented with wonderful options made from leather and ship yarn. Such models are very popular.
The anchor in bracelets can be made of any material. Today, many jewelers turn to this interesting detail and make spectacular pieces of gold of different colors or noble silver.
Accessories with a pendant made of stainless steel or jewelry brass are more affordable. Their appearance is in no way inferior to expensive products.
Today, brass anchors with an antique effect are at the peak of popularity. They look very interesting and mysterious. It should be noted that such elements are perfectly combined with many types of bracelets: from textile to rubber.
How to do it yourself?
If you can't find a suitable option in the store, make the perfect piece of jewelry yourself. To do this, you will need a small pendant in the form of an anchor, clasps and strong threads of different colors. These components can be found in art stores.
Measure seventy centimeters of thread and fold them in half. We pass the loop through the hole in the anchor. After that, we thread the ends into it and tighten it so that a strong knot is formed. Now weave the braid and place the clasp. All this must be repeated from the reverse side. All stages of work will take you no more than 30 minutes.
There is another way to make a fashion accessory. It is simpler and faster. You will need a waxed cotton cord, a pair of acrylic beads, and the anchor itself. The cord must be fastened (as in the first method), and the free ends must be tied in a weak knot.
How to make a bracelet from a waxed cord with your own hands, see the video below.
You can thread the ends of the string through the beads and tie them so that they hold as tightly and securely as possible.
What to wear with?
Today, many young ladies turn to this charming bracelet. He looks great in both female and male looks.
A beautiful product looks harmoniously in the image of a lady of any age. You just need to choose the right clothes.
Accessories in a nautical style can be called universal. They look great with both casual and evening wear. Anchor bracelets are absolutely not capricious, and they can be combined with other jewelry made of various materials.
It is not recommended to overload the image with a lot of different accessories in a nautical theme, otherwise you risk creating a funny and theatrical look.
