Jewelry Designing- what is Jewelry?

Jewelry is said as an ornament which is worn at different parts of the body, such as Rings, Earrings, Bracelets, Necklace etc. made out of Gold, Silver, and Platinum with different precious and semi precious gemstones. The first jewelry was made with bone, animal teeth, wood, shell and carved stone. The word jewelry is derived from the word jewel from the old French Jowel, also from the Latin word jocale which means plaything.

In ancient times jewelry was created basically for wealth, storage purpose. At that time period jewelry was now as symbol of status. Now jewelry plays a greater role in today’s world than it ever did in the past. No more it is use as the privilege of the wealth, for the broadening of the social structure of contemporary society and the burgeoning concepts of what jewel is? The basic appeal of jewelry lies in the satisfaction of primitive needs. Use becomes a means of releasing us to fantasize about ourselves, our lives and our world. Because the motivation of wearing jewelry involves elemental and eternal human concerns, the use of jewelry will persist in one form or another for as long as jewelry race survives. Jewelry is the universal language of art, love and memory.
