Purple Fashion Accessories

Purple Facts

Purple is a colour full of symbolism and a long association with royalty. The colour purple denotes affluence, supremacy, dominance and magnificent opulence.

Purple is also associated with spirituality, mystery and pacification. The stone is believed to protect wearers from getting too intoxicated with alcohol. A good quality amethyst will be a rich deep purple gem, but paler tones of lilacs to rose amethysts are available to suit many tastes and price ranges. The amethyst birthstone is very hard wearing and this makes it a good jewellery buy.

The amethyst is the stone of Saint Valentine and was once the stone of Royals as purple was the colour of power. It is the perfect gemstone to give as a Valentines jewellery gift on Saint Valentine's Day, celebrated on 14 February each year.

Tones of purple can be used as a mourning colour instead of black or white.

This of course, could not be further from the case with people who are passionate about fashion choosing to source vintage pieces rather than buying new from a shop. For many, it is in fact something of a treasure hunt where finding the right piece is both exciting and hugely rewarding. Collectors and vintage clothing lovers actually relish the chase that goes into finding a special item and put a lot of time and effort into sourcing such items. Of course, when a consistently good source of vintage clothing is discovered, chances are that the buyer will return time and time again in order to find more items. One thing to remember though is that often, many unfruitful searches and dead ends are encountered before a truly wonderful source is found but again, this is just adds to the thrill of the chase.

A tagliatelle belt makes for a delicious main course, but should always be worn al dente. Later, for dessert, you can dine on fruit-paste bangles and a cheese necklace, then dance the night away in a pair of aubergine slippers. May you never go hungry, or naked, again”
