Punk Jewelry

Punk jewelry has a long and interesting history, one that has its beginnings in the punk rock music, Gothic and heavy metal band movement.

With punk jewelry, this brand of music and jewelry started in the early 1970's, 80's and 90's in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and other places.

This type of jewelry was not accepted into the main stream until later-on because of the kind of music and lifestyle with which it was associated. The music was considered loud, boisterous and too hard-edged.

The style of clothing and chain-linked designs were viewed to be too edgy with rips and heavy chains hanging about the clothes. The music lyrics were often freaky.

Body Piercings

Many different parts of the body were tattooed including the ears, nose, eyelids, tongue and the navel among other parts. Although this was part of the general lifestyle, it brought attention to others who, in the beginning, did not like it.

But what was even more evident, was the hair styles, body art and body piercings that accompanied this music and culture. The hair was dyed with vibrant colours like pink, red and purple, shaved or buzzed on the sides with a strip of hair down the middle, grown out and standing up with the help of lots of jell.

Well-Known Rock Bands and Punk Jewelry

This jewelry became more popular as more people such as well-known hard-rock music bands of the era like Jimi Hendrix, Alice Cooper, Vanilla Fudge, the Who and others worked hard to bring their music to the fore front.

Punk rock jewelry and accessories complimented the lyrics and music. Bands were remembered for their colourful fashion including unique and interesting jewelry designs and clothing. Rock jewelry such as spiked chains, spiked earrings, studded necklaces, studied bracelets was an everyday-wear.
