Although the shapes for the concho-inspired bracelets include diamonds and crosses, we’re highlighting some of the western cross styles. As seen in the product under the link, these conchos can be multicolored crystal on an adjustable bracelet, or another option is having just a solid color for all conchos. Additionally, if you look close at each concho, all are embellished further with rhinestones around the edges. Traditionally, a concho is seen on a cowboy hat band or on a belt, but, in terms of western style, they’re appropriate as embellishments on clothing and for jewelry.

Other pieces of western jewelry, such as the cross pendants, fit neatly into the western-or-rocker chic look. Some have a clear rocker look with rhinestones, a guitar, and angel wings added, while others seem to take on an appearance closer to that of a Celtic cross. Many of these crosses can be attached to a leather cord or adjustable chain and worn solely as a pendant or, as charm bracelet and necklace styles are back in again, they can be added to one of the concho bracelets or a similar necklace for a style of varied crosses.

But, although shades of coral stone and cowboy hats are seen on the models (and the horses), the collection of western fashion from Vogue appears to be a bit of a compromise. First off, much of the western fashion on the models isn’t necessarily cowgirl chic but, instead, horse-riding chic with some western embellishments. Many of these looks would be appropriate for spectators at a prep school polo match and not at a rodeo. Although the ostentatious nature of many western fashion pieces, especially those at Best Handbag Wholesale, is too overwhelming for high fashion, a compromise of high and western fashion isn’t always a bad thing – especially when traditional western styles get noticed.

What’s missing from this particular collection is the bling, from turquoise to large belts, associated with western fashion – and particular rodeo gear. For an updated western fashion collection, however, Marie Claire’s recent collection of western-inspired high fashion gets it right. Not only are large turquoise stones, belts, and western stone colors, particularly coral, a significant part of this collection, but many of these items would be appropriate for a rodeo and for high fashion.

In general, the crosses are merely part of western fashion, particularly cowgirl style. Whether it’s a pair of silver-cross earrings or a cross-shaped pendant without religious connotation, this style is pervasive across all western styles and retailers. The cross, however, does have some sort of religious significance regardless of how you wear it, but how it’s designed makes it more or less a western symbol and not directly religious.

Crosses are found on many BHW handbags. These cross handbags may be adorned with a metal or black cross, often one that’s flared or rounded at the ends. As this is the main ornament for the bag, the cross is often depicted on a solid colored background. But the cross itself isn’t solid and on many of these handbags, it’s embellished by the material used – such as cowhide or metal – or with rhinestones like turquoise or quartz.

This symbol also appears on many pieces of jewelry and decorative accessories like belts. Rhinestones shaped like crosses, for example, decorate the sides of many western-style belts at BHW looking to stay western but adding a little bling. Similarly, many of the jewelry pendants take this cross shape, as well. In addition to being metal, many of these pendants designed with a combination of cow hide, rhinestones, and traditional western stones. To accentuate one of these pendants around your neck, couple it with a solid color chain or leather cord.

Necklaces are some of the newer pieces of western jewelry at BHW. One notable style is a chain necklace built like a thicker bike chain. These chains come in traditional silver, as well as pink, purple, white, and other colors. Aside from chains, more new necklaces at Best Handbag Wholesale combine western stones. Whether large or small stone beads, these necklaces all use a combination of turquoise, onyx, crystal, and coral beads – often two or more on the same necklace. One of these can be worn by itself or paired with one of the various western themed pendants at BHW.

Aside from necklaces, Best Handbag Wholesale has many new pendants. These pendants vary in shape from stars to crosses to stars. While all of these pendants have a magnetic closure, they all incorporate different western stones, particularly turquoise, with rhinestones. The rhinestones either line the pendant or are the centerpiece to the pendant. Whether you’re looking for something flashy, casual, or to just wear to a rodeo, any of these pendants are appropriate. For a full selection, browse through the new western jewelry at BHW.

At Best Handbag Wholesale, the western jewelry with the most variety is pendants. These pendants offered are magnetic closure pendants which, instead of stringing them on to a chain or necklace, they can be added around the beads or chain with a closure that will open and then close magnetically. In terms of style, the pendants are typically silver and many use traditional western stones or stone colors like turquoise, onyx, and crystal. For the latter, the crystal rhinestones are clear or colored in shades like aqua marine, pink, and blue. For more extreme western style, some of the patterns have cowhide inlay with rhinestones added.

Rhinestones and western stones decorate or compose other types of wholesale jewelry offered through Best Handbag Wholesale. Some of the basic types of jewelry, such as necklaces and earrings, have turquoise beads strung on them or are decorated with smaller rhinestone crystals. These stones, in addition, come in various sizes, from larger turquoise beads to smaller ones strung together. Aside from traditional jewelry, cell phone cases have become an accessory, as well, and these, too, have western patterns and rhinestones in the selection on Best Handbag Wholesale.
