During the late medieval period (around thirteenth century to the first half of the fifteenth century period), the Gothic architectural style was racing towards the art of jewelry making. Sharp shapes were replaced by rounded forms, and the fineness of lines was hugely improved. Pearls started beeing embedded in jewelry. Brooches, belts, rings, wristbands and head accessories were the most typical jewelry accessories of this period.
Gothic jewelry have some aspects embedded, such as iron locks or nails necklace, velvet ropes tied around the neck simbolizing some kind of rebellion from the wearer.
Other common objects founded in jewelry are bats, demons, roses, skeletons, crosses, and so on. Gothic jewelry focus on maintaining the consistent dark black color of the Gothic style but together with the shine white metal.
