Tassel Jewelry: A decorative past, refashioning modern trends

 

Taking ideas from the Roaring Twenties, we’ve incorporated glistening cascades of gold chains, opulent stones and shiny pearls into the modern version of tassels made of leather and resin fringes held by geometrical and eye catching pendants! These fun-to-wear items match with any outfit for any occasion, giving you the freedom to accessorize your look in the most authentic way possible.

 

The tassel has almost always been a symbol of power and prestige. The word for "tassel" originated from "tassau" -- which, translated from Latin, refers to a clasp at the neck of a garment. In the beginning, tassels served as a weaving knot in garments to prevent unraveling. Then, over the course of time, they took on a more powerful significance: They were worn by ancient priests and military officers as talismans that warded off evil spirits. Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun was unearthed from his tomb wearing them around his neck.

 

Imagine decorating yourself with what Royalty used to wear! Pretty cool eh?

 

Scholars from Oxford and Cambridge affixed them to their graduation caps to mark their intellectual superiority. The church tied them to robes to denote rank among clergy members. Napoleon decked out his imperial throne with them. King Louis XIV even commissioned them to decorate all royal costumes and residences. Shortly after that, the rest of the Western world followed suit by adding them to, well, everything and anything. They inspire us to feel smart, strong, and even statuesque.

 

Now it’s your time to have tassels dangling from your ears or hanging from your neck, just like kings and queens adorned centuries ago. Feel the power that history has embodied in the flair of tassels, while you spruce yourself up in your tassel jewelry exclusively from LimitedEdition.lk, who is devout towards securing your distinctiveness with tassels that garnish our authentic collection.
