There Are Plenty Of Places To Look For Ideas When Designing Biker Rings For Men

By Tara Daniels


Designing original and striking biker rings for men can often be tricky, with inspiration hard to come by. Thankfully, there is a huge range of possible sources of inspiration on which artists and designers can draw. A trip to the movies, reading a book or learning about different eras of history, can all provide ideas.

Many designers of jewelery and clothing for bikers have sought inspiration from horror films, and they continue to do so. The skull, in particular, is an iconic image which many bikers enjoy wearing, and it is sometimes combined with the crossed bones of pirate designs. The skull is an image associated with death and rebellion, and appeals to the outlaw instincts of bikers.

It can also serve designers well to take a look at history, with the American West of the 19th century being a rich source of inspiration for many jewelery designers. The outlaw imagery of this era appeals to many motorcyclists, while the American Civil War also has many banners, garments and weapons which can be used, as well as slogans. Native American imagery can also be found in many books about this era.

A trip to the cinema can also be very useful for any jewelery designers who are short on inspiration for their latest project. Super hero movies, science fiction, action and war films, as well as the horror movies already alluded to above, can all provide rich seams of ideas. Some film characters are associated with particular sayings or images which can be incorporated into designs.

It is also possible to find some inspiration from rock music, especially heavy metal, which has enjoyed a long association with bikers and motorcycle culture. Many bands make use of imagery and logos which can be adapted for jewelery. Certain songs also feature imagery which can be rendered in jewelery, or even words which can be lettered into designs.

Much biker jewelery also uses images from fantasy storytelling, which should perhaps not be surprising as heavy metal music has for many years used these kinds of stories to inspire lyrics and imagery. There has since the 1970s been something of a dovetailing between heavy metal music and fantasy literature. If the fantasy stories have been made into films, then the store of potential material grows even larger.

It can also be a good idea to use actual motorbike parts as a source of ideas for designs for this type of jewelery. If a biker is especially fond of a certain type of bike, then using parts from that kind of bike can help them to demonstrate their loyalty to their favorite. Some engine parts are also aesthetically appealing when they have been turned into jewelery.

Finding sources of inspiration when designing biker rings for men is actually much simpler than it might first appear. By talking to bikers, and keeping an eye on the media, some good ideas can be found. Biking's outlaw culture means that there are plenty of potential sources on which to draw.
