GIRLS BEST FRIEND ON STRIKE

Jewellery is a universal form of adornment. It is likely that from an early date it was worn as a protection from the dangers of life or as a mark of status or rank. Over time, metalworking techniques became more sophisticated and decoration more intricate. Gold, a rare and highly valued material, was buried with the dead so as to accompany its owner into the afterlife. Much archaeological jewellery comes from tombs and hoards. Sometimes, as with the gold collars from Celtic Ireland which have been found folded in half, it appears people may have followed a ritual for the disposal of jewellery. Until the late 14th century, gems were usually polished rather than cut. Size and lustrous color determined their value.

By the mid-17th century, changes in fashion had introduced new styles of jewellery. While dark fabrics required elaborate gold jewellery, the new softer pastel shades became graceful backdrops for gemstones and pearls. Expanding global trade made gemstones ever more available. Advances in cutting techniques increased the sparkle of gemstones in candlelight. The end of the previous century had seen the development of the brilliant-cut with its multiple facets. Diamonds sparkled as never before and came to dominate jewellery design. Frequently mounted in silver to enhance the stone's white color, magnificent sets of diamond jewels were essential for court life. 

 

The 19th century was a period of huge industrial and social change, but in jewellery design the focus was often on the past. Naturalistic jewellery, decorated with clearly recognizable flowers and fruit, was also popular for much of this period. Accessories are great way to update any wardrobe. Beauty that is skin deep is always subjected to praise. A glance at the past reveals that it was the Jewellery that had been radiating this inner beauty by adorning the neck, forehead, ears, hands, waists and feet of both the genders. It is even today that young to middle aged women are crazy about Jewellery. Skillful hands mold precious metals to create magnificent collections of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and even fashion Jewellery. When these artistically curved metals find the right place on a woman's naturally curved figure, they get their due respect and the woman glows with a change in her body language. Gone are the days when diamond, valuable stones, gold and platinum were the only metals to get the shape of Jewellery.
