As the July 4th holiday approaches and our nation prepares to celebrate it's independence, patriotic jewelry is especially popular and ever meaningful. Since there are two types of Americana symbols, traditional and primitive, there are other symbols for your Americana home decor besides the American flag. In the eyes of the members of ‘its' social group, the nation would cease to exist as an entity invested with values and moral imperatives.
You can also express your love for the country by donning an Uncle Sam costume or an American flag inspired outfit.
