Fashion Jewellery

Everybody loves jewellery. This is probably more true with women who spend large amounts on these personal bodily ornaments (decorations). Jewellery (or jewelries) are either worn, hang or embedded on the body. Most common jewellery are rings, pendants, bracelets, necklaces and even wristwatches. Materials such as gemstones and precious metals are used to make beautiful jewellery. Gemstones are either precious stones or semi-precious stones. Some examples of gems are diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emerald, opal, quartz, jade and pearls (strictly speaking not a stone anymore but a by-product from living shelled mollusks such as clams). Precious metals are gold, white gold, silver, platinum, palladium and sometimes the poisonous lead. These are the metals which do not oxidize (rust) easily. The wearing jewellery is primarily to enhance one's personal beauty but there are other uses too:


As a form of currency. It is also used to store something of value or as a dowry.
As a symbol. Used to denote religious membership or civil status like being married.
As protection. Some jewellery are specifically used as amulets or magic wands.
As artistic expression. Jewellery is worn to exhibit a design as a unique work of art.

 

Jewellery has gone a very long way since those 100,000-year-old shell beads discovered by archaelogists. They are no longer made with the natural materials of long ago such as wood, seashells, animal teeth or bones. Today, they are most likely made from gemstones. The most preferred precious gemstone used for jewellery are diamonds because they are very hard. Diamonds are formed inside the earth at very high pressures and temperatures and are the hardest naturally-occuring material known to mankind. Hardness is defined as resistance to scratching which has made diamonds ideal jewellery for daily wear such as engagement and wedding rings. A diamond is judged by its 4 Cs: carat, clarity, color and cut. Diamonds are forever and indeed a woman's best friend!


On the other hand, modern fine jewellery includes precious metals with gold the most preferred because of its malleability. Gold purity is measured in karats (spelled with a letter K) and the minimum for jewellery is 10k up to 18k. A higher purity makes gold too soft for jewellery use. Other metals such as sterling silver or white gold are also commonly used. The cheaper stainless steel is used in costume jewellery in lieu of the usual precious metal.

 

Costume jewellery is also called as fashion jewellery or fake jewellery because they are made from cheaper materials such as base metals, wood, plastics, glass beads or synthetic stones. They are used to accentuate fashion and are  meant to be worn casually. Flashy and inexpensive jewellery is called as “bling-bling”.
