Biker jewellery is a whole world boasting its own symbolist, history, as well as hidden and pretty obvious significance. You will surely recognize motorcycle rings among the myriads of other pieces – if nothing else, they feature larger-than-life sizes and unique imagery. Skulls, crucifixes, Indians, Iron Crosses – these and many other motifs constitute authentic biker symbolism.
While being indeed authentic, it can’t really be called unique – after all, many other subcultures flaunt crosses and skulls. Offhand, these are the Goths and rockers. Along with that, there is a pretty extensive group of symbols meant exclusively for motorcycle riders. We are talking about motorcycle symbolism ranging from motorcycle parts to brand logos. You have every right to rock a skull ring even if you don’t believe in skull magical powers, but why would you have a motorcycle ring if you’re not a rider? Hence, if there is a sheer biker symbolic stratum, it must refer to motorcycles by themselves as well as those who ride and make them.
Bike Images
We have witnessed plenty of iconic mean machines throughout history. HD Fatboy, XR750 and Low Rider, Vincent Black Shadow, Triumph Bonneville, BMW R69S – all these stunners earned a spot in the motorcycle Hall of Fame. A sky-high price tag and limited supply make these legendary models unavailable for a regular motorcycle enthusiast. But thanks to jewellery accessibility and versatility, you can flaunt images of your favorite bike models whenever and wherever you like. Yes, owning your own Fatboy bike and Fatboy jewellery isn’t the same thing but it suffices to express your love and admiration to the creative genius of motorcycle engineers.
Bikers Themselves
Motorcycles cannot exist apart from those who ride them. After all, two-wheelers were created not as museum exhibits but as road conquerors, so they come alive only in tandem with people. Therefore, the image of an easy rider, both quoted directly and stylistically altered, is one of the most prominent themes in biker rings.
Bikers’ faces wearing stern expressions, with a cigarette squeezed between the teeth, in a bandana, goggles, and helmets are powerful visual representations of the alluring biker lifestyle. A silver bandana biker ring or a such-like item will be your proof of belonging to the motorcycle community. If nothing else, it will display your admiration for badass men on motorcycles.
Biker Parts
Every building block of a motorcycle is distinct and awe-inspiring. No matter which part catches your eye, it immediately instills admiration. Have you ever admired ape hangers of such an exaggerated height that you could ride in a reclining position? Or have you ever seen exhaust pipes so impressive that they would put any industrial plant to shame? Everything about motorcycle designs that make our hearts beat faster finds an embodiment in jewellery.
Having said this, we cannot deny that the most iconic part of a motorcycle is its mechanical heart and soul, its engine. Although the motorcycle industry came up with so many engine designs, the most loveable and distinct is the legendary V-twin. If you are one of those people who admire the might and sophistication of engineering flight of fantasy, a pendant with a congruent design will effortlessly convey your message to everyone around.
In case you cannot decide which design is the best, or vice versa, you think that each of them deserves a place on the prize pedestal, you can delve into the nuts and bolts of motor construction. All kinds of gears, pistons, cylinders, and transmission chains incorporated into your ring or pendant are a great way to showcase your love for motorcycles without offending anyone.
Motorcycle Brands
‘Which motorcycle brand is the best’ is the subject of heated debate within the biker community. Suzuki, Honda, Ducati, Triumph, or Indian – each brand boasts its own loyal fan base. However, there is one name that never leaves anyone indifferent. Whether you love or hate it, you cannot deny that Harley Davidson, or simply Harley, has become synonymous with motorcycles. Even those who have never sat in a saddle know this name, and this says a lot about its impact.
If you are a proud owner of a Harley motorcycle, you surely want to scream about it from the top of your lungs. Well, it is not at all necessary to exercise your vocal cords because Harvey Davidson rings are able to do it for you. The great thing about the company is that it has introduced so many variants of its logo throughout history that you can easily pick something to tickle your fancy in full measure. The most recognizable is hands-down the Bar and Shield logo introduced almost a century ago but you can pick any style you want – from an open (text-free) Bar & Shield to stylized HD, Harley’s proprietary images remain recognizable in any form or shape.
