Jewelry has been around for thousands of years, and the use of it has varied amongst the different cultures. Examining these pieces of jewelry can give us insight as to how these ancient cultures actually worked.
African Jewelry
The first signs of a culture using jewelry came from the homo sapiens living on the continent of Africa. Snail shell beads have been found dating back to over 75, 000 years ago at Blombos Cave (situated in side a limestone cliff in the country of South Africa). At the other end of Africa, at Enkapune Ya Moto in Kenya to be more exact, beads made from ostrich egg shells have been found that date back to more than 40,000 years ago.
Egyptian Jewelry
Egypt has given us the pyramids and the sphinx, so it is only natural that it should provide us with the first signs of established jewelry making…around 3,000 to 5, 000 years ago. Egyptians did have access to various materials that we currently make jewelry out of, such as gemstones, but they preferred to make their jewelry out of glass, which they could color to their specific tastes. For nearly every gemstone they could find, they were able to create a glass formation to mimic it. Egyptian jewelry as used as a template for various other cultures. For example, Egyptian designs were copied most commonly in the jewelry of the Phoenicians.
To the Ancient Egyptians, the color was very important, as different colors meant different things. The Book of the Dead provides us with further details on this matter. For example, the necklace of Isis that was to be placed upon the mummy’s neck needed to be red. This red color would satisfy Isis’s need for blood. Green jewelry symbolized new growth in the area of crops and fertility. This jewelry was made primarily in large workshops that were attached to various Egyptian temples and palaces.
The Jewelry of Mesopotamia
Approximately 4000 years ago we see signs of jewelry development and production in the cities of Sumer and Akkad in Ancient Mesopotamia. It tended to be made from metal leaf and was often set with a large number of brightly-colored stones, such as jasper, lapis, carnelian and agate. They also used various shapes in their jewelry designs, such as leafs, grapes, cones, and spirals. The Ancient Mesopotamians were also masters in the area of record keeping. Huge archives of detailed records relating to the creation and trading of jewelry have been unearthed in various archaeological sites throughout Mesopotamia.

Let’s continue on with the history of jewelry in other ancient cultures.
Greek Jewelry
The first examples we have of Ancient Greek jewelry utilize beads shaped in the form of various shells and animals. Around 1400 BC the Greeks started to incorporate gems and gold into their jewelry designs. By the year 300 BC the Greeks had ventured into the area of colored jewelry utilizing emeralds, pearls, and amethysts. The Greeks also made cameos from a striped brown pink and cream agate stone known as the Indian Sardonyx. Greek jewelry started off with simple designs, when compared to other cultures of the time, but as time progressed, the designs grew increasingly more complex with varying materials.
Jewelry in Ancient Greece as to be worn during special occasions or while on public appearances. It was not worn in the daily life of the Ancient Greeks. It was a common gift, and women used it to show off their beauty, social status, and degree of wealth. Often jewelry was deemed to have mystical powers. For example, it was thought to provide the wearer with protection from the “Evil Eye” (a look by another person that is thought to send injury or bad luck), or other supernatural powers. Most Greek jewelry of the time was made from silver and gold, with ivory and gemstones, clay and bronze utilized as well.
Two types of jewelry were developed by the Ancient Greeks. They were cast jewelry pieces and those that were formulated by hammering out sheet metal. We have fewer examples of these cast jewelry pieces available today. It was made by casting the metal onto two moulds made out of either clay or stone. When these two moulds were joined together with wax, and molten metal was poured into the center of the mould. This was a technique that had been passed down since the Ancient Bronze Age. Jewelry made from hammering sheet metal was much more common. Sheet metal was hammered to the desired thickness, then soldered together.
Roman Jewelry
The most common example of early Roman jewelry was the brooch (a decorative piece of jewelry designed to be attached to garments), which was used to secure clothing together. The Roman Empire was huge, and the Romans took full advantage of it, incorporating a diverse range of materials from far and wide. In earlier times they utilized a lot of glass beads and pearls, but in later years they utilized bronze and bone and gold. Imported sapphires from Sri Lanka and Indian diamond, along with amber and emeralds were also incorporated into their jewelry designs.
In a similarity to their neighbors the Greeks, one of the purposes of Roman jewelry was to ward off the “Evil Eye” that may have been given by one’s enemies. Women wore jewelry all over their bodies, but for men, it was often only a ring on the finger. It was expected that Roman men would wear a ring on one finger, but some Roman men wore a ring on every finger, while others wore no jewelry at all.

With the decline of the Ancient Roman Empire, many areas continued on with the refinement of their skills in the area of jewelry making. The civilizations of the Merovingian (incorporating the area around Ancient Gaul) and the Celts in particular are noted for their fine jewelry. Merovingian jewelry is often in the form of stylized animal figures, while the Celts utilized continuous designs and patterns. Some of the more common pieces were clothing fasteners, amulets, and signet rings. By the 8th century it was common for men to incorporate jewels into their weapons, with other jewelry being utilized by the women.
To the east, the collapse of the Roman Empire left the Byzantine Empire, and they continued in the jewelry making tradition of the Romans, with religious ideals becoming a predominate theme. While the Romans, Franks and Celts utilized solid gold, the Byzantium used light-weight gold leaf, with more emphasis placed on the actual gems and stones. Byzantine jewelry was worn by females with wealth, and signet rings were the main forms of male jewelry. As with other cultures of the time, it was common to bury a person with the jewelry they owned.
Jewelry of the Renaissance
The Renaissance was a period of explosive knowledge in many areas, and the area of jewelry development was no exception. As Europeans explored the cultures of other areas, a wide variety of gemstones were incorporated into their jewelry designs. Take for example the Cheapside Hoard, which utilized Colombian emerald, Brazilian amazonite, Sri Lankan chrysoberyl, iolite and spinet, Persian turquoise, Indian rubies, Afghani lapis lazuli, peridots from the Red Sea, and Hungarian and Bohemian amethysts, garnets, and opals.
With the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte came the resurrection of grandeur and style in the area of jewelry and fashion in France. One fashion trend started by Napoleon was the cameo, as one decorated his crown. Once this was shown to the public, the desire for cameos rose, with cameos becoming highly sought after. Costume jewelry also started to develop around this time. Different names were given to jewelers. Those that worked with cheaper materials were known as bijoutiers, while those who worked with expensive materials were known as joailliers. This naming practice is still being utilized today.
Romanticism and Jewelry
By the late 18th century romanticism had worked it’s way into the development of jewelry. Changes in the social conditions that the people were subjected to, and the start of the Industrial Revolution, meant a growing middle-class, people who wanted, and could now afford jewelry. The industrial processes of the period meant that stone substitutes and cheaper alloys were available, leading forms of paste or costume jewelry.
About this time, in the year 1837 to be more exact, the company Tiffany & Co was started by Charles Lewis Tiffany. His company put the United States on the map in terms of jewelry, and developed dazzling jewelry, such as those created for the wife of Abraham Lincoln. This same company would later go on to be known as the setting of the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. On the other side of the Atlantic, in France, Pierre Cartier founded the company Cartier SA in 1847. In 1884 the Italian company of Bulgari was formulated.

When World War II ended the world entered an era of renewed interest in the areas of artistic and leisurely pursuits. During this time Georg Jensen and other jewelry designers propagated the concept of wearable art. The introduction of new materials, such as plastics, precious metal clay, along with new coloring techniques, led to an explosion in the area of style variation. Improved techniques in the area of pearl harvesting, and improvements in the quality of artificial gemstones, positioned jewelry within the economic means of a greater percentage of the modern day population.
With the approaching 20th century, jewelry dabbled with blending oriental techniques into European design. The bling-bling style of jewelry was popularized by hip-hop and rap artists in the early 21st century.
Artisan jewelry, also known as art jewelry, continues to grow and grow not only as a hobby, but as a profitable profession. In the United States, there are 17 periodicals about beading alone. A low initial cost expands the popularity of this venture. The Metropolitan Museum in New York showcases some fine examples of artisan jewelry.
Body Modification Jewelry
This type of jewelry is often fairly plain…with the use of rings, earrings, and simple silver studs encompassing this form of art. In Myanmar Padaung women place large golden rings around their necks. Girls as young as 5 are introduced to their first ring, and as they grow older, more rings are added. This can continue until about twenty-plus pounds of rings are situated around their necks. Lip plates are worn by the Sara people (ethnic group in Central Africa) and the African Mursi. Some South American peoples utilize lip plates as well.
Many cultures use jewelry as a temporary body modifier. In some cases hooks or other objects are placed into the skin of the recipient. This practice, often carried out in tribal groups, has worked its way into the culture of the west. Jewelry shops that revel in the extreme has sprung up, catering to those individuals who would like to have spikes or large hooks incorporated into their skin. More often than not, these hooks are used with pulleys, and together this mechanism will hoist the individual into the atmosphere. Said to give the person an erotic feeling, some have even gone as far as to have marriage ceremonies performed while suspended by these hooks.
The Modern Market for Jewelry
The largest jewelry market in the world is that of the United States. It has a market share of 30.8%. The countries of China, India, Japan, and the Middle East each comprise 8-9% of the worldwide jewelry market, while India comprises just 5%.

Jewelry comes in various shapes and forms, and beautiful heart jewelry is no exception. Gemstones are often incorporated into the various designs. Do you know all the various types of gemstones that are often included? In this article we will focus on the various gemstones that are often utilized in the making of beautiful jewelry.
Amber is not made from minerals, but from compressed tree resin. This tree resin has to harden for over 1 million years before it can officially be called “amber”. Many of the Baltic States, such as Lithuania, are leading producers of the world’s finest resin. Some amber can be over 120 million years old.
Amethyst is the most prized gemstone in the quartz family, and this has been the case for many years. It is prized for its “purple hue”, which can range from light to dark.
Emeralds are known for their fine green to bluish green color. Some historians believe that the Ancient Egyptians mined emeralds as far back as 3500 B.C.
Jade can come in a variety of colors, but the most popular color is green. This gemstone has been closely linked to Asian history, culture and tradition. It has a nickname, which is the “stone of heaven”.
The gemstone jasper can come in a variety of colors. It is a member of the chalcedony family. Known for its very interesting and elaborate patterns, one of the most popular forms of this gemstone is the “picture jasper” (which is specifically known for it’s beige’s and browns and swirls).
Rubies, amongst the most highly valued precious gemstones, are known for their intense red color. In the Sanskrit language the word for ruby is “ratnaraj”. It means “king of precious stones”.
Sapphires are very popular in the United States, with the “blue sapphire” topping the list. It is known for its medium to deep blue color, and its strong saturation. It is much more affordable than an emerald, ruby or regular sapphire.
Turquoise is found in only a few places on earth. Here’s a question for you. Which region of the world is the world’s largest producer of turquoise? The answer is the southwest United States. This gemstone is prized for its attractive medium blue to greenish blue color.
Do you know what an organic gemstone is? It is a gemstone that is produced by living organisms. Examples of these gemstones are pearls, corals, and amber. Inorganic gemstones are those gemstones that are composed of minerals. Examples of these gemstones are diamonds, rubies, and emeralds.
Did you enjoy this little journey into the world of the various gemstones that can be utilized in jewelry production? We hope so. Gemstones can add beauty and value to jewelry designs, and heart jewelry is no exception. Colorful and beautiful, gemstones such as these can add considerable value to a jewelry item.

Way before the American Dollar, the British Pound, or the Indian Rupee came on the scene there was another measure of wealth. Gold has been valued as a currency practically since it was found. It is still used today to denote one’s wealth. Rare and very heavy, it’s been used as a status symbol for kings and merchants alike. This is our guide into the world of gold, and we hope you enjoy this journey into the world of this precious metal.
Gold has certainly set itself apart from the other precious metals. In fact, it is one of the most precious and valuable metals that you can find. It is soft and malleable, so much that a single ounce of the metal can be stretched into a single long wire that will span 5 miles in length. If you would prefer to pound rather than stretch, why not pound it down. It will create a sheet of gold that can cover over 100 square feet. Since it will not corrode or rust it will last indefinitely.
It can be found almost everywhere. It is in our rivers and seas, in the crust of the earth, and in our plants as well. Unfortunately, it is expensive and difficult to extract…which is why it is so pricey. It takes about 2.5 to 3 tons of gold ore to produce one single ounce of pure gold.
Gold is the most popular metal in today’s jewelry. This is pretty much a given. It is used in fine jewelry, heart jewelry, good jewelry, cool jewelry, you name it. Most of the gold goes into one “shape” though. Do you happen to know what it is? It’s the simple wedding band. Since gold is so soft and malleable, it is not used by itself though. It is often combined with other metals to give it strength and durability. When two or more metals are combined they form what is known as an alloy. Most of the gold that we use in our jewelry production today is in the form of an alloy.
So, what are these various types of jewelry you ask? How about: (1) Gold jewelry, (2) Rose gold jewelry, (3) Wholesale gold jewelry, (4) White gold jewelry, (5) Gold plated jewelry, (6) Gold body jewelry, (7) 18k gold jewelry, (8) Gold charm jewelry, (9) 24k gold jewelry, (10) 14k gold jewelry, (11) Gold horse jewelry, (12) 22k gold jewelry, (13) Indian gold jewelry, (14) Plus other beautiful gold jewelry items.
You have probably heard of the word karat before, but do you know what it means? The word itself is derived from the word for the fruit of the carob tree. For example, the Arabic word girat, the Italian word carato, and the Greek word keration. The seeds of the carob tree were used in the measurement of the size of precious gems in the ancient world. There was a pure gold Byzantine coin called the solidus. It weighed in at 24 karats, so the 24 karat mark (i.e.: 24K or 24KT) became the mark used to indicate that the item being looked at was make of pure gold.
We hope you enjoyed this journey into the world of gold (and gold heart jewelry)
