It is said that a diamond is a girl’s best friend. Such a statement does not arise from nowhere. Indeed, many women delight not only in diamonds, but in any piece of luxury women’s jewelry from a variety of materials. Necklaces, earrings and bracelets are now staples of the wardrobes of both the most elegant ladies and those who favor an everyday style. In a word – women and such treasures cannot exist without each other.
Historians and researchers say that humans have had the need to decorate the body since the dawn of time. Centuries ago, pendants of bone, teeth, shells, wood and stone played the role of jewelry. The oldest known piece of jewelry for women is a necklace with a nassarius snail shell, and is more than 100,000 years old.
It took a long time for metal-based jewelry, of silver, gold, bronze, copper, iron and lead to emerge. For years, ways of processing these materials were developed, and manufactured jewelry began to be more complex in form and broader in range of application. High-end jewelry was, among other things, important as an element of some religious rites: amulets and talismans on the outfit of a shaman gave him standing and even showed his great experience and knowledge. The rich also wore such expensive jewelry, believing in their magical power and because it emphasized social status.
Gold came to be the most perfect and precious metal ascribed to rulers. For ladies who chose to wear low cut dresses, pendants with crosses and ornate necklaces were luxury jewelry items of choice.
Fashion jewelry experienced a boom in the 16th century, when it became so popular and there emerged templates from around the world, thanks to which the appearance of jewelry became more standard and conventional. Earrings and necklaces were not only beautiful, emphasizing style and beauty, but were also evocative. Outstanding achievements were awarded with special medals encrusted with precious stones.
The next major breakthrough in the history of designer jewelry came in the 19th century. Then, the emphasis on its material nature became less important and, rather than being a mark of status and wealth, exclusive jewelry became of sentimental value. For example, mourning jewelry, worn by the relatives of the deceased, became popular. At the same time, designers began to be inspired by Japanese, Arabic and Egyptian motifs.
With the turn of the 20th century, platinum and diamonds rose to the fore. Those who required rich decoration wore several large rings adorned with great stones on just one hand.
Today, many designs, decorations and forms of women’s luxury jewelry are available. Indeed, it is produced on such a massive scale that it is sometimes hard to find something original. Fortunately, at Vitkac.com online shop, we offer a broad range of high-end women’s jewelry that is a cut above the rest.
The truth is, a well-chosen item of jewelry will emphasize our elegance and style without unnecessary effort, and what’s more this will be permanently etched in the memories of those we meet. Women’s luxury fashion jewelry is a fine complement to other elements of a costume – suiting dresses and sexy high heels, but also a more sporty dress. Many fashion experts recommend that it is worth investing in quality, valuable earrings, necklaces, or rings, as they are investments that will last for years.
