The Idea Of Putting On Jewelry

By Charles T. Bengtson


What are the reason people wear jewelry in everyday life and on special occasions? Why it is being called jewelry? Why is it given so much importance in our life? Some people wear jewelry for identification but there are other reasons as well.

Jewelry can be in any form like a necklace, bracelet, earrings, rings etc and are worn to make one look more gorgeous. Jewelry is usually made from real and artificial stones. There are other materials like metals used in making jewelry too.

It was found that man has been decorating himself since the emergence of mankind. The man is approximately 6 to 7 millions years old and this research has been made from a skull found in Central Africa.

The earlier man was not aware of the jewelry of today. For them jewelry was used to tie their clothes. For earlier man bones and some common colored stones were the decoration and they used to adorn themselves with it.

Today, jewelry is used to show the wealth. Now more precious stones are used instead of common stones. Various style of jewelry is used in different cultures and you can see that as well.

Displaying wealth in form of dowry, gifts etc have become a trend with jewelry. Moreover it is also used to trade in some other goods in exchange of gold jewelry.

However the purpose of jewelry is not only limited to show off however the real purpose is still alive and that was to look more beautiful. The various brooches, cufflinks, pins etc are still used for this purpose.

Today, you will hardly see a woman without any sort of jewelry. It has now become a trend to wear some sort of jewelry all the time, like many married people wear wedding ring all the time. It is also now used with matching outfits to enhance your attraction and to accessorize you.
