Are you looking for some dazzling yet not-so-common accessories to revamp your earthbound outfits? Are you ready to take a fashion-forward leap into wilderness? Just jump on and discover our whimsical mix of animal themed jewelry comprising of rings, earrings, pendants and all things fashionable.

1. Animal Rings

We wonder, what can possibly be cuter than a baby elephant or a dolphin hugging your finger? Probably, your favorite pup or a kitten clinging on to your finger? Animal inspired wrap around rings look super cute. The immaculately detailed 3-D miniatures of wilderness’s residents wrapped around your fingers and toes are adorable enough to make anyone go aww and roar at the same time.

Tip: Don’t be afraid to go for the lion heads, tigers or the leopards for wrap around rings. These animal jewelry have the power to look ferocious yet appealing.

2. Animal Earrings

Abstract animal motivated studs, hoops and danglers have been adorned by mankind since the earliest of times. This season, it’s the earring jackets and cuffs that have hit the run way. Drawing inspiration from Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons from the upcoming episodes of the ‘Game of Thrones,’ the Dragon animal jewelry look fierce and fashionable.

Flawlessly crafted figures of intertwined snakes and winding chameleons are also immensely popular among the youth. Don’t worry you need not get your ears pierced to adorn an ear-cuff.

Tip: Do you think dragons, snakes, octopuses and chameleons are just not right for your personality? Want to add a bit of sophistication to your ensemble? Then, you might want to try on a pair of subtle butterfly wing inspired ear jackets.

3. Animal Pendant

Have a fetish for collecting pendants? Want something matchie-matchie to pair up with your animal jewelry? Then, take a dig into the wild world of flora and fauna. Pick your favorites and wear them around your neck.

There is a wide variety of semi-precious to precious animal inspired pendants available in the market. One can find anything from a roaring lion to a cuddly bunny rabbit necklace under the same roof. All you really need to do is find the animal pendant that can add grandeur to your personality. Don’t forget to take your outfit, accessories and other jewelry items into consideration.

Recently, the owl pendants became popular among the youth owing to the multiple layers of symbolism it holds. The owl symbolizes wisdom, intelligence and assures protection against evil. Therefore, it is an ideal present for those who seek knowledge and good luck.

4. Animal Printed Bags

Handbags have the potential to make or break the charisma of an outfit. The right handbag can draw attention to your best features while the wrong one can make you look like a faux pas. Thus, it is important to choose a handbag that gels along with your dress, body-type and not to forget persona.

Tip: You can use animal printed bags to your advantage in numerous ways.

1. Less is more: Remember to pair an animal printed bag with a subtle outfit. Allow the handbag to grab the right eye-balls and become a fashion statement.
2. Choose your patterns wisely: Use horizontal prints to add a few visual inches to your body horizontally, while you might want to pick a few vertical prints add to the length i.e. if you wish to look slimmer say yes to a vertically printed bag.
3. Avoid conflict: Choose a bag that compliments your personality and outfit. A vibrant leopard printed bag may add a funky element the outfit and personality of a young go-getter, whereas a sophisticated (mono-chromatic crocodile or snake leather) bag might suit the one with a contrasting personality.
4. Don’t be afraid to experiment: We understand that you don’t wish to be termed as the next-fashion-disaster at your upcoming get-togethers and parties, but that shouldn’t hold you back from experimenting. Play around with vivid colors, patterns and designs. Voila, you could spark off a new fashion trend.

The animal kingdom has been an inspiration for artists for ages. The fashion-doctors and divas are no exception. It is hard to resist a piece of animal inspired accessory, be it the tiny delicate broaches, ageless charms and lockets, earrings or the delicate hair ornaments. Animal themed accessories can be used to add panache to traditional as well as contemporary outfits. So, add up a few animal inspired accessories to your wardrobe to highlight a new aspect of your enigmatic persona.

From the photographer Mrs. Wai Chun:

“Taken in June this year during a game drive at Nakuru National Park in Kenya. Rounding a bend on the track I came upon not one but seven of these magnificent young lions draped across the branches of an acacia tree. Some are dozing and some are looking disdainfully at me. I was transfixed by these superb, regal creatures. What a privilege for me to have witnessed this amazing moment.”

Instead of putting the squirrel down, Danielle adopted it and nursed it back to health. Now they go everywhere together. The squirrel’s name is Hazelnut, she likes peanut butter, and her leash is made of braided hemp.”
