Jewellery is timeless. It lives in history, fashion, beauty, and symbolism. It is more than something to wear. Jewelry is personal. Centuries ago jewellery symbolised beauty, strength, bonds, and social status. Men, women, and children wore it, and wear it today. Men and women wore arm cuffs, a piece of jewelry made for the upper arm. They were symbolic, restrictive, and provided no protection. The arm cuff came to be the bangle and the bangle was later fashioned as a bracelet. Men and women’s bracelets are symbolic of support for a group or cause. They represent a cherished memory.

Women adorn themselves with jewellery. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and they like gemstones and roses too. Flowers do not only come on stems they come on gold, silver, and platinum too. Flowers patterned on rings, bracelets, and necklaces too. Jewellery adorned with common metals and semi-precious stones were available to all. Jewellery fashioned with precious stones, was a sign of wealth and power. Today precious stones and metals like gold are still seen as a sign of financial prosperity. Sterling silver and platinum are popular metals used as well. Crystals, made with a combination of metals used in jewellery is a symbol of healing. They are also used in the occult, and for spiritual matters. They hang on bracelets and necklaces and as settings on rings.

Sister bracelets represent a bond between women who may or may not be blood sisters. It embraces the solidarity in a relationship that is endless. Bracelets display symbolism with their embellishments of colour, animals and plants. Names inscribed on designs that are unique and embellished. Inscribed pieces that hang around the neck. Gold, silver, platinum or diamond name necklaces. The name necklace displays the name of the wearer or the name of someone who is close to the wearer’s heart. Inscriptions on metal embellished with flowers and/or precious or semi-precious stones. Photo necklaces memorialise family members and loved ones with an image of them in a locket on a chain. Photo chains protect the images of our loved ones with glamour. A housing with a discreet latch for a glance.

Jewellery is always the perfect size for any occasion. Engagements, weddings, birthdays, and holidays. It creates personal holidays and memories when gifted. Jewellery evokes emotion and promotes celebration. It is provocative, it incites conversation. Jewellery embraces, creates, and celebrates occasions and memories. It is an embellished and personal expression of feelings about self and others. It symbolises support for love, friendship, beliefs, networks, and associations. Jewellery is a personalised custom name necklace, bracelet or gemstone. It is fashion symbol for women, men and children worn to symbolise or accessorise.

Jewellery says I love you, believe in you and am bonded with you in gold, silver, platinum and crystal. Tell her it will last forever with a rose gold plated Austrian crystal flower ring. Show him he is boss with a black painted stainless steel band. Jewellery is a gift that always brings a smile.
