Necklaces are jewelries that are mostly favored by women.
They come in all sorts of designs, colours, shapes and even weights. They have
been in existence since the beginning of time as they had different meanings to
the wearers. Vintage necklaces are jewelries that are originally from the past
and have been preserved until the present day. They are those that have no
replicas and are unique to their designs. They have a higher value than
ordinary necklaces and some are even sold at auctions to the highest buyer.
Bold, chunky and full of art is what can be described as the
characteristics of a vintage necklace. They are rarely found easily as some
have specific shops that sell them.
Owing to how delicate vintage necklaces are, they are only handled by
experts in the field of jewelry production who understand their intricacies.
Acquiring vintage necklaces is not as easy as going into a shop and asking for
one. Most of the shops that sell them usually have replicas or imitations.
Sometimes the designers may create the necklaces in the design of certain
pieces of the vintage necklaces.

The mohawk (referred to in British English as a mohican) is a hairstyle in which, in the most common variety, both sides of the head are shaven, leaving a strip of noticeably longer hair in the center. Though mohawk is associated mostly with punk rock subculture, today it has entered mainstream fashion. The mohawk is also sometimes referred to as an iro in reference to the Iroqois, from whom the hairstyle is derived - though historically the hair was plucked out rather than shaved.

Punk fashion is the clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, jewelry, and body modifications of the punk subculture. Punk fashion varies widely, ranging from Vivienne Westwood designs to styles modeled on bands like The Exploited. The distinct social dress of other subcultures and art movements, including glam rock, skinheads, rude boys, greasers, and mods have influenced punk fashion. Punk fashion has likewise influenced the styles of these groups, as well as those of popular culture. Many punks use clothing as a way of making a statement.
