Lynn Loves Jewelry: Whimsical Creations to Celebrate the Arrival of Spring

Celebrating the Arrival of Spring with Whimsical Jewelry

We didn’t celebrate Easter in our house when I was growing up. This didn’t sting nearly as badly as the absence of Christmas, namely because the ephemera surrounding Easter—bunnies, tulips, etc.—was far more secular than the things associated with December 25. With Easter arriving this year on the last day of March, it seems like a good time to look at all those cheerful pieces of jewelry that celebrate the animal kingdom and the arrival of spring.

Serpents in Jewelry

For centuries, snakes have made their mark in the fashion world. Their symbolic power has a dark and thrilling history, but in jewelry, they can be seen as rings, bracelets, and necklaces. The Victorians particularly loved adorning themselves with these slitherers.
