100 Best Songs About Jewelry

I have been an online writer for over five years. I am passionate about books, philosophy, music, and the music industry.

While not everybody may fancy jewelry, in songs, different types of jewelry, jewels and precious stones, are mentioned in unique contexts. While certain singers and songwriters have actually written songs about their favorite jewels, majority of the songs about jewelry are a metaphorical account of a wide-range of emotions.

What Message Does Jewelry Convey in Songs?

Diverse meanings and messages are conveyed with songs that have jewelry in their title. In songs from different genres, musicians mention diamonds and gold in a figurative manner to bring out a deeper meaning. Certain singers narrate emotional stories of their humble beginnings, and their transition into a meaningless world of riches, fame, and fortune. Rings, bracelets, gold, and diamonds are often used symbolically to convey the message of eternal love. A lifestyle of revelry is sometimes depicted with jewelry in songs that showcase a glamorous world or parties.

A number of singers and songwriters use the names of gemstones or precious metals as a metaphor to remain grounded through a change in lifestyle. The dark side of living with luxuries is often showcased with a change in personality that brings about a hard-hearted attitude. Expensive jewelry also represents high status in society and is theatrically showcased in certain music videos. Glamour and lifestyle is often showcased with stylish jewelry, parties, cars, art and décor in certain music videos.

Symbolism: Jewelry in Songs

In songs, jewelry symbolizes a deeper understanding of the human mind. Symbolically diamonds are an emblem of purity and perfection. The gemstone is often mentioned in lyrics of songs to denote promise, faithfulness and commitment between husband and wife, or boyfriend and girlfriend. Jewels and jewelry are considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity. The dazzling sparkle in jewelry is symbolic of light and brilliance. In some songs, certain precious stones are showcased as an association with spiritual power to ward off evil.

The radiance of gold represents an illuminative phase of life for taking wise decisions. Certain gemstones in songs portray well-being and the way of life. In songs, different colors of precious stones are associated with optimism, extravagance, and riches. Psychological attributes are often used as a comparison with different types of jewels or jewelry in songs. Certain rings that have precious stones are considered as charms and worn for good luck.
