RULE NUMBER 1: CROSSES AND SKULLS
How to know that the jewelry is made in the rock and roll style? I'll give you a hint - most often, this jewelry is made in the form of a cross or a skull. Alternatively, they may carry decorative elements with their image. For example, it could be a massive cross inlaid with onyx, or a ring in the shape of a skull. Traditional rock 'n' roll archetypes also include roses, wings, daggers, arrows, snakes, and spiders. Scary but beautiful!
RULE NUMBER 2: LIGHT-COLORED METAL
Remember a simple rule - rock 'n' roll ornaments must be tough and heavy. For this reason, you should select rings and bracelets made of silver or pewter (or at least steel if you want to save a few dollars), these pieces will stand out against dark-toned outfits. As for the inlays, these pieces usually contain stones that really contrast against the silver metals. The most popular gems are onyx, garnet, and turquoise.

RULE NUMBER 3: BAROQUE ELEMENTS
Complex designs and baroque loops originated from Gothic art. This style can be clearly seen in flat round pendants that are combined with a velvet necklace, large stones that decorate a necklace with baroque patterns, or heavy pendants with lace motifs. The style of Gothic jewelry is androgynous, meaning these pieces can be worn by both men and women. Your girlfriend will surely love wearing your elegant Gothic pendants and rings.

RULE NUMBER 4: THERE SHOULDN'T BE TOO MANY RINGS
When it comes to accessorizing, don't limit your choice to a skull ring or a cross pendant. These accessories can be easily combined with each other. Remember that all your rings should be the same color. Also, pay attention to jewelry with interesting shapes. These can be decorations resembling a bent nail or brass knuckles.
