Mermaid Jewelry

[Prince Calypso]

So i have an interesting little question about mermaid jewelry
well jewelry, weaponry, and metal work.

you can tell alot about a culture from its jewelry and weaponry and how they were made and formed
so what would actual mermaid jewelry and metal work look like
I imagine in a culture where fire doesn't exist metal work would be rare, but there are underwater volcanoes and stuff so I imaged merfolk who could sand the temperatures would be able to craft completely unique things like the nothing compared to that of the human world.
same thing for weaponry and i imagine that the creatures and plants stuff like that would play a part and how such things would look
so with this in mind what exactly think this stuff would look like?

or what are your ideas about weaponry and jewelry

I'm just really curious on what everyone takes on stuff like this would be

I pretty much adapted my own culture's traditional jewelry into "mermaid" form. I figured given how Persians write about mermaids (they don't seem to view them with any amount of shock or disbelief in the stories, and often confuse them with regular people on land), we (Persian mermaids) would have had plenty of interaction with merchants, sailors, and people who lived along the coasts, so we would have seen the things they wear and adapted them with our own materials. Shells, discarded nets, hooks, and lines, seasilks, pearls, greenery, etc. There's also a fair amount of shipwrecks in the Persian Gulf, so I figured there's leeway for me to just wear my regular traditional pieces if I wanted to... They could have sunk with a ship, who knows. That's my justification. :)

There are also a few things I've added that aren't quite adaptations of traditional jewelry, but they do have some parallels. Tail adornments mostly. Imogen Finnley (I'm sorry if I spelled it wrong!) and I were discussing if flukes and fins were cartilaginous, would merfolk pierce them to put more pretties on themselves the way that humans pierce things? Actually, she said it, and I loved the idea, so now my dorsal and fluke are going to have little piercings so I can hang more pearls and shells off of them.

I definitely think that I would be the kind of mermaid who collects her accessories from sunken ships. I think more natural armor would be more my style. Crustacean shells, coral, etc.

Bone. Lots of bone would be my guess.

For weaponry, I imagine they would harvest animal parts. Urchin spines, shark teeth, coral... anything hard and sharp.

I would really like some aquamarine jewelry...they are "mermaid's tears" after all. (: Once I have my goldfish tail I plan on using aquamarine accessories (they're also my birthstone!), but for now I'm sticking with shells and starfish.

LOVE those. I try to add subtle little mermaid references in my everyday attire and I'll be adding those to my Xmas list. ♡

[[Edit: DEAR GOD THESE IMAGES ARE HUGE I am so sorry. I thought the forum would automatically shrink them in the post (doesn't it usually do that? So you can click them to enlarge them?).

Ah well. They're all too lovely not to include!]]

WOW all those are exceptionally beautiful and pretty much what i was getting at

Ohh, interesting. Jewelry can become dull or lose their color when worn. Fortunately, it is easy to clean jewelry and make it shine so that it looks like brand new again.

Cool! I recently wanted to give my friend earrings for her birthday and for a long time I could not figure out which earrings are best to choose. The article about earrings hoop (https://dartsnews.com/other/what-is-the-best-type-of-earrings) helped me and I was able to choose the right earrings for my friend. She really liked the earrings. If you also don’t know which earrings are best to choose for yourself or someone, I think this site will help you.

Comfort is crucial for everyday jewelry. Ensure that rings, bracelets, and necklaces fit well and don’t cause discomfort. Lightweight pieces are often preferable for daily wear, as they won't weigh you down. While classic pieces are essential, incorporating a few trendy items can keep your look current. Trends come and go, so opt for less expensive pieces for these styles to update your look without breaking the bank.
