Black Friday has evolved into a global phenomenon, marking the beginning of the Christmas shopping season and far exceeding its American origins. This tradition began in Philadelphia during the 1950s as a tactic to draw large crowds to department stores following Thanksgiving Day, which falls on the fourth Thursday of November.
Now synonymous with exclusive discounts and early holiday shopping, Black Friday has become an essential date for those seeking elegant and timeless designs, such as our handcrafted sterling silver jewellery—from two tone bangle bracelets to personalised lockets.
The Origin and History of Black Friday
By the 1980s, Black Friday had become known for its significant discounts across the United States. Initially, the term "Black Friday" referred to the heavy traffic congestion and the crowds of shoppers flooding the streets and stores. However, retailers redefined the term to signify the moment when their financial ledgers transitioned from "in the red" to "in the black," marking the shift to profitability driven by the surge in sales.
With the rise of online shopping, Black Friday's influence expanded internationally, becoming a global event that also celebrated exclusive offers in countries like the United Kingdom and many others worldwide.
This global event also paved the way for Cyber Monday, celebrated the Monday after Black Friday, which offers an additional day of online-only discounts and exclusive opportunities to acquire unique pieces. For instance, our engraved gold vermeil bangles make the perfect gift for any occasion, whether for her, family, or friends.
