Velvet ribbon - narrow velvet ribbon, a kind of female jewelry, which is worn around the neck. Often it is used for hanging medallions or pendants. Polishing cloth periodically became fashionable in the XVIII and XIX centuries - they successfully contrasted with the snow-white skin and drew attention to the neckline. While these ribbons were produced exclusively from black velvet.
At the beginning of the XX century velvet ribbon out of fashion. But with the return of interest in vintage things they reappeared in the ladies' caskets. Today, these decorations look much more diverse - they embroider, decorate with beads, lace and silk ribbons in many colors. In any case velvet ribbon gives its owner a little old-fashioned elegance and femininity.
