The Bow as the Most Enduring Motifs through Ages

The bow is of the most enduring symbols in fine jewelry since ages. Various jewelry designing houses have modified it to suit their unique jewelry items. It is considered to be one of the most feminine motifs which is classic and sophisticated as well. A bejeweled bow on a ribbon is the perfect design representing classical beauty. The bow motif first made its appearance in the 17th century as a symbol of love and marriage. They mostly appeared attached to brooches and necklaces. The bow also represented a playful side of a person therefore whether on brooches or on necklaces or even on tie pins, bows looked cute.
The bow design underwent a change in design in the Edwardian era when it became more fluid instead of the stiff design of the French court. During the Edwardian era, bows studded with diamonds started appearing on necklaces, pendants, rings earrings and also on brooches. Now the bow has undergone even more changes with loosened up sides and asymmetrical loops on cuffs and chokers encrusted with diamonds. The bow design and diamonds complement each other making the jewelry item appear more elegant and whole. Even to this day diamond encrusted bow spells romance and if you are getting one such ring on your engagement or wedding day, then your love will be everlasting.

Bows are appearing on rings with pearls and diamond to complement them. In of the fine jewelry collections a spectacular ring made from white gold has a base of South Sea pearls along with a diamond studded bow while in another set of earrings Japanese pearls are used along with diamonds on bow shaped earrings.
