Jewelry has been present in many cultures of humanity for centuries, since its inception; occupying today a great importance, it could even be said that the same as at the beginning, since it still represents power, status, royalty, elegance and style. However, seeing all the jewels in the world, it is inevitable to ask questions, that is why today you will know some curious things that revolve around jewels and jewelry.
There are curious things in all areas, from the materials used, the people to whom they belonged, to objects made as a special edition for those who want to be more sophisticated. For example, Hollywood actress Elizabeth Taylor not only went down in history for her beauty and artistic career, she has also been recognized as the owner of one of the largest jewelry collections in the world; many of them to date have been auctioned for large sums of money.
Of those historical curious things, it is said that during the year 803 there was a law that prohibited jewelry sale, after sunset, this with the purpose that buyers were not deceived due to the lack of light. In this same line, what is now known as the wedding ring, was introduced to replace traditions in which men and women tied a thread with a knot, attached to a gold or silver coin, which was divided and each one carried a half.
Among the curious things about jewelry materials, with the passing of time creativity has developed to the point that designers mix metals and precious stones with unimaginable objects, such it is the case of the designer Margaux Lange who uses parts of the emblematic Barbies (arms, legs, eyes, mouth, face), with metals like silver, creating without a doubt a unique accessory that has been valued in hundreds of dollars, would you buy it?
If you talk about jewelry objects, it is said that the Egyptians, well known for the jewelry they wore, were the first to wear earrings, but they did not wear them as accessories but as protection against evil spirits, as they believed that they could enter through the holes (like the ears). On the other hand, did you know that in the translation of the Bible it is made a reference to gems and precious stones? Yes, in Jacob’s book there are about 700 thousand references to gems and precious stones.
Among the most recent peculiarities is the use of jewelry inlays on the eyes, how? Yes, that’s right, Dr. Emil Chynn, located in New York, performs operations through a laser with which he makes the incision and introduces the piece that the person wishes to wear. Undoubtedly, jewelry is like the ocean, deep and full of mysteries to discover or to create.
