Unique Lingerie Jewelry

by

For most of us, our lingerie isn’t something the whole world sees. Other than our stockings, a fashion corset, or decorative bra straps, most of our underpinnings stay under wraps for only a select audience to appreciate. But you can be public about your love for lingerie, with lingerie jewelry. Wear your passion around your neck or on your wrist, and keep them all guessing about what they can’t see!

Vollers Corsets

The English corset company offers corset-inspired jewelry to compliment any outfit. Vollers jewelry can often be found in the product shots for the corsets themselves! They currently offer earrings, necklaces, and bracelets highlighting details that can be found in corsets, like the lacing or front clasp fastenings. Click here to see more or to purchase.

Etsy

Of course unique jewelry always makes me think of Etsy! There are several sellers on Etsy selling lingerie-themed adornments, including JewelParlour and Ottobone.

Thomas Sabo

With Thomas Sabo charms, you can make a bracelet or necklace with the available lingerie-themed charms (among others). Charm bracelets have eight charm slots available, while the pearl, stone, and leather bracelets as well as the necklaces can hold up to three charms each, so you can accent the lingerie set with your birthstone or other charm.

Lastly, Oak has a necklace available with a charm designed after the iconic cone bra worn by Madonna.

Looking for an Investment? Try One of Madonna’s Bras

Investment and equity firms in recent years have taken a substantial interest in lingerie companies as solid investments. In many cases, they have bought controlling interest of the company and actually own the business. But these kinds of investments are normal considering the lingerie companies are valid businesses with significant return on investment. Recently, however, structured investment funds specializing in niche assets have expressed interest in memorabilia from artists and stars who possess long-standing and long-term future marketability.
