Chain at the waist
Summer is a time when many girls strive to stand out with the help of well-chosen accessories for the bow and with their help emphasize the figure. Currently, there is a large assortment of such jewelry, among which the waist chain stands out. This is a supertrend of the past 2014, which is now re-experiencing its creative rebirth under the strict guidance of famous designers.
A bit of history
The waist chain was popular 4 thousand years ago among the peoples of the East, but everywhere it had a different meaning. For example, in India such an accessory was called “patka”. He was one of the many attributes for religious rituals and ceremonies. It is in such a necklace at the waist that the god Krishna is depicted in many paintings that have survived from antiquity.
In the Maldives, such jewelry was widespread only among noble people and emphasized their status enshrined in society - a judge, mayor, etc. They were made exclusively from precious metals, and precious and natural stones were used as decoration. The chain at the waist had a similar meaning for the fairer sex in Russia, in the 7th century. For a long time, Russian ladies indicated the luxury and wealth of their kind in this way.
Residents of Arab countries, with the help of chains at the waist, lured men, putting on jewelry while performing a variety of ethnic dances, thus emphasizing their seductive forms. And thanks to the additions in the form of gold coins or special trinkets, they enhanced the influence of this accessory.
When the jewelry became popular again in the 21st century, Western designers gave it a new name - belly chain, which literally translates as a chain for the belly.
Features and Benefits
In its primitive state, the jewelry resembles a thin belt made of metal links of various sizes and lengths. Such a traditional decoration will easily refresh the majority of women's bows, focusing on the waist. However, modern fashion leaves such graceful simplicity in the past, offering girls more graceful and interesting models.
As a rule, such a chain encircles the waist or abdomen, giving a certain sophisticated atmosphere to the image. But there are also such models that are worn on a woman's hips and are made up to 100 cm long. There are also products that are attached to the neck, and then effectively pass under the arms and end at the waist - this is a more evening and daring option for a confident girl.
It should be borne in mind that such an adornment will become a real adornment only for those young women who have an enviable figure. Thus, this accessory becomes a kind of finishing touch to those efforts on themselves that most women make on the eve of the hot season. The chain at the waist will easily draw the attention of others to the embossed tummy of its owner and emphasize its beauty.
The modern assortment includes a variety of styles of such an accessory: from models for an evening dress to spectacular additions to a swimsuit. The most common jewelry is not made of expensive metals, which are distinguished by their stainless properties, but are usually intended to be worn for no more than one season. However, among the jewelry you can try to find traditional ethnic patches, which can be very elegantly emphasized by modern bows.
Spectacular images
The most popular options are traditionally thin and paired with cubic zirconia products, which are attached directly to the waist. With the help of them, any girl will feel even more sophisticated.
The best everyday option would be a piece of jewelry that the girl will wear under a translucent blouse. For example, a stylish silver model paired with a short white blouse made of thin material and black shorts at a low waist will be the perfect combination for walking around the city with friends.
If a girl wants to stand out, then stylists recommend that she buy an accessory for her swimsuit. In this case, it is better to give up the bodysuit and give preference to an open bikini.
The most effective option would be a chain style in which it is attached behind the neck and passes under the arms. The presence of an additional decorative element in the form of a pendant will add elegance to the image. The swimsuit should match the color of the metal from which the chain is made.
Looking for a spectacular and non-trivial decoration for an evening dress, it is worth buying a jewelry that is more tangible in weight, which will perfectly fit over the clothes, emphasizing the girl's femininity.
To get a more elegant look, stylists advise to combine the accessory with a plain dress. The most profitable and luxurious bow will be obtained using a classic black dress and a thick gold-plated chain that will encircle it in several tiers.
