Modern Jewelry giving Spiritual Protection
David R.
The design of modern jewelry can be inspired by present or recent events but also by ancient symbols and traditions. A good example of recent events that have inspired jewelry designers is the first atomic bomb leading to a massive increase of starburst designs and sprays of diamonds. Ancient traditions can be found in the designs of Egyptian jewelry, spiritual jewelry with kabala symbols, tribal designs, amulets for protection and sacred talismans. The day or night time also has its influence on these designs being gold as the preferred metal for daytime jewelry and diamonds for the evening or night
Jewels during the day and Night
When designing modern gold jewelry that will be worn mainly during the daytime, designers usually prefer Florentine finishes, mesh and foxtail or similar chains. In the fifties the chain of cultivated pearls was very popular amongst the modern jewelry designers
In the sixties, famous for its very colorful history gave birth to hybrid jewelry designs and women also started to wear silver jewelry, gemstones and geode crystals alongside the more traditional diamonds, gold and platinum. The flower Power era inspired the jewelry designers to create brilliant cuts for the diamonds like organic or abstract and jagged shapes. Some designers even started to use regular metals in their designs.
Trends are known to change very often so in the seventies the jewelry designs were influenced and inspired by the blooming of feminism and the womens movement. This lead to a complete different type of jewelry designs. Women started to have a major influence on the designing of jewelry because they expressed their likes and dislikes. Jewelry started to look as they wanted by incorporating new materials like wood, ivory, rock crystals and coral.
And, with the dawning of the eighties and beginning of the nineties, people became more affluent and so modern designer jewelry took another turn and veered to the more glamorous, glitzy as well sparkling style of jewelry, and when Princess Diana wedded, there was a noticeable shift to elegance and also grace in the modern designer jewelry of this time.
When we entered the new millennium modern jewelry designers started to use even more materials in their creations to make them even look more special and unique. The use of hybrid metals, metal clay, synthetic materials, PMC , non-precious metals, synthetic gemstones, the coloring of pearls and multicolored diamonds ave given birth to a complete new style and look of modern jewelry.
>From ancient time when man started to be aware of it`s presence on this world and the acknowledgment of the existence of supreme powers the jewelry designers of old have produced amulets, talismans, jewelry for protection and sacred jewelry in many different forms and designs. This tradition of creating Spiritual Jewelry has never disappeared. Even today modern jewelry designers still make spiritual jewelry based on the ancient traditions. This spiritual jewelry is made to offer protection and blessings from God and Nature and their unique designs are precious and a worthy alternative to more classic designs.
