The meaning of Jewellery

 

 

Wearing jewellery has a much deeper meaning than most people know, realize or can imagine. It represents personal feelings in form, color and medium as well as how somebody wants to be seen as a human being in society. 

Size, form, and the position of jewellery can reveal very much about the wearer because it is also the individual’s way of expressing his or her views and method of interacting with others.

Jewellery, or the decorating of the human body, has had similar purposes since the early ages. Social gatherings, festivities and events as well as the preparation and execution of fights/wars were always a part of and the main inspiration for the wearing of jewellery and decorating of the body.

Touching human senses through jewellery is the deepest feeling it may generate. In this case jewellery is no longer connected to its monetary value and status but to its value in meaning and aura.
