Have you ever received a gift tied up with a bow? It’s often a surprise and the bow has become a symbol of gifts and presents.

Bow jewellery is typically worn only by women. That’s not to say that a man couldn’t wear it, but in most cases, the tied up bow has special meaning for women. Before the suffragette movement, women around the country were expected to fulfil their limited roles while men engaged with public and political life. Of course, we’re still some way from full equality between men and women, but the truth is that things have really come a long way. Consider how you tie up a bow on a gift. You put tension on the ribbon and tie the knot, and when you release the bow. This tension and release are seen as symbolic of women’s liberation, the suffragette movement and the ongoing struggle for women’s rights.

There’s something of an irony going on with the bow as a symbol of women’s liberation. Just think about the lace-up corsets from the 19th century, for example. For some women, bows symbolise their distinct femininity in a very old-school way. It seems, there’s something of a disconnect going on here!  It could mean that they think of themselves as fulfilling some old gender role that doesn’t necessarily conform to the more fluid gender roles of the modern day. That’s ok.  I tend to think, that when women claim an identity for themselves, they also empower themselves. In this context, the bow really does represent a woman’s right to choose who they are, whether that is a liberated and strong politically active woman, or a so-called “girly girl” who identifies more strongly with a rigid female stereotype. She is strong, attractive, and of worth and value.

Today a popular alloy to create Rose gold is a mixture of Copper and Silver, creating a lighter rosy toned Gold. This light pink colour can look stunning when used with gemstones such as Morganite, Pink Spinel and Pink Sapphires.
