The Ancient History Of Jewelry

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Like many customs in our civilization, jewelry has a long and varied history that in some ways has changed little, and in other ways, changed significantly.

The notion of jewelry has existed for thousands of years, dating back to humanity’s ancestors, the Cro-Magnons. The Cro-Magnons, over 40,000 years ago, used to make crude necklaces out of bone, teeth or stone. One archaeological dig in Russia found some necklaces made from the tusks of Woolly Mammoths.

Romantic Element of Pearls in Jewelry

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

The fast changing fashion makes this world so dazzling. The diamond used to be “the queen of gems”, but now it is not able to satisfy the more fashion-conscious people any more. All kinds of other gems and jewelry are becoming just as popular. The new fashion concept is virtually a harmony of all gems in different categories. In this concept, each kind of gem is endowed with new elements.

Modern pearls have become so functional—they don’t only represent dignity and wealth any more, but now have a more romantic element. Now pearls are essential to create a romantic style of jewelry. They are being combined with romantic patterns like flowers, symbols of purity like platinum and representing long-lasting love stones like diamond. With pearls, the whole piece of jewelry becomes so much visual and refined.
