A History of Jewelled Lingerie

When we think of lingerie, we often associate it with elegance, intimacy, and sophistication. But at Enerji, we believe lingerie can be more than just a fashion piece. It can be a source of everyday well-being. By adorning our luxury lingerie with interchangeable healing crystal pendants, we have created pieces that combine beauty, artistry, and holistic benefits, continuing a rich history of jewelled lingerie while bringing it into the modern wellness era. 

Ancient Beginnings: Jewellery Meets Lingerie

Jewelled lingerie might feel like a modern luxury, but its roots go back to ancient civilizations where undergarments were adorned with intricate embellishments to symbolize beauty and status. In Ancient Egypt, jewelled girdles made of gold and beads were worn close to the body. These exquisite pieces often featured semi-precious stones like turquoise and carnelian, believed to provide protection and energy to the wearer.

Similarly, in Ancient Rome, women wore delicately crafted gold and silver belts under their tunics. These weren’t just practical; they were often adorned with gemstones and intricate designs, showcasing wealth and femininity. In India, bejeweled kamarbandh (waist chains) served a dual purpose, combining sensuality and spiritual significance, and were often layered over delicate fabrics or bare skin.

At Enerji, we’ve drawn inspiration from these historic pieces, channeling their timeless elegance into modern designs that celebrate both form and function. By incorporating healing crystals, we add an extra layer of meaning, turning each piece into a celebration of both beauty and well-being.

The Renaissance and Baroque Periods: A Display of Wealth

The Renaissance era ushered in a heightened interest in luxurious textiles and embellishments. Corsets became a staple of women’s fashion, and many were embroidered with gold thread and encrusted with gemstones. During the Baroque period, fashion became even more extravagant, with bodices and undergarments adorned with intricate jewels, pearls, and lace. These designs were not only symbols of wealth but also of craftsmanship, as the finest artisans were commissioned to create bespoke pieces.

Enerji London carries this spirit forward by blending luxury with purpose. Our interchangeable healing crystal pendants are not merely decorative; they are selected for their unique properties, such as promoting calm, boosting confidence, or enhancing clarity, turning lingerie into a personal wellness ritual.

The 20th Century: From Haute Couture to Pop Culture

The 20th century marked a turning point for jewelled lingerie, as it evolved from aristocratic exclusivity to a wider cultural phenomenon. In the 1920s, flapper-era fashion featured beaded and sequined lingerie-inspired dresses, combining Art Deco aesthetics with sensuality. By the 1950s, Hollywood glamour brought jewelled lingerie to the silver screen, with stars like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor donning embellished bustiers and corsets that exuded sophistication.

Enerji bridges this legacy of glamour and modern-day practicality. Our designs allow you to personalize your lingerie with crystal pendants that match your mood, outfit, or intention for the day. With each piece, you’re not just wearing lingerie; you’re making a statement about beauty and inner harmony.

Modern Interpretations: Enerji's Approach to Adorned Lingerie

Today, jewelled lingerie continues to captivate the fashion world, and Enerji is proud to lead the way in blending tradition with innovation. Luxury brands have popularized jewelled lingerie with dazzling designs, but we’ve taken it a step further by adding a wellness dimension.
