Jewelry

Jewelery is an intriguing form of self-expression, art, and cultural presence. This category includes rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and brooches, with individual meanings and styles. In the past, jewelry has been known as tool to reflect social status and used to celebrate personal events such as marriages and so forth. Gold, silver, gemstones and organic materials such as wood and shell have been used from antiquity to modern times showing traces of both the creativity and wealth of a particular society.

Jewelry at its best has a narrative function. Engagement RingsThis is probably the most common example of symbolism in jewelry (who thought an engagement ring was just a financial burden? Of course, we all knew it represented love and commitment, but I never made the connection to wearing rings in ancient Greece!). It comes with birthstone jewelry where they can relate to their personal identity and use it as a talisman family piece.

In the world of jewellery, the current trend is for greater sustainability, with a number of designers concentrating on eco-friendly production methods and ethically sourced materials. A growing number of people are also buying vintage and handcrafted pieces, as they pursue more individualised items that have movement behind them rather than your average mass-production jewellery.

Maintenance of your jewelry is the most valuable for its wonders. Proper cleaning, storage and knowing the ins & outs of the different materials used in these pieces will expand their life. If Peter Pan gives you a classic nostalgic feel, there can be nothing better than the crocodile and his clock, or even Hook’s 2-eared-chief-henchman.
