Ed Hardy Chic Love Kills Slowly Watch
As a parent of a teenager, I’m well aware that plastic or rubber bracelets are “in”. Every kid I see seems to be wearing either inexpensive wristbands stamped with a trendy saying or word or the increasingly popular packets of Silly bands in assorted shapes and colors. I can understand the phenomena, these wristbands are very affordable and easily replaceable. A parent doesn’t worry about bands being lost, broken or given away at will. Huge variances in color, style and shape allow for a lot of individuality.
The problem with this type of jewelry is similar to that faced by commodities in general. When “everyone” has “it”, “it” becomes common and in turn, less desirable. Teenagers might seem to be following the crowd in fashion and style, but they also want their style to be unique and noteworthy. From personal experience, fashion that my teen “had to have” suddenly becomes passe once “everyone” has it. So, my thoughts in regards to this jewelry phenomena are: know it’s temporary, by selecting jewelry for school that’s unique to start with, a kid is already one up on her classmates in school fashion. To me, jewelry is supposed to be different, why choose jewelry that is the same as everyone else’s?
