Materials and methods

make jewellery, precious stones, coins and other valuables are often used, and they are usually put in precious metals. In almost every known metal alloys were encountered in jewellery - bronze, for example, is common in Roman times. Modern usually includes jewelry made of gold, white gold, platinum, palladium, or money. Most American and European gold jewellery is made of an alloy of gold, the purity of what is stated in carats, indicated by a number followed by the letter K. American gold jewellery must be at least 10K purity (41.7% pure gold), (Even if England is the number 9K (37.5% pure gold), and is generally up '18K (75% pure gold). Purity levels above are less frequent with alloys to 22 K (91.6% pure gold) and 24 K (Or 99.9% pure) is considered as too soft for use in jewelry in North America and Europe. these high-purity alloys, however, are widely used throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Alloys [Edit] Platinum range from 900 ( 90% pure) 950 (95.0% pure). Money is usually used in jewellery in sterling silver, or 92.5% silver. in costume jewelry, stainless conclusions are sometimes used.

Other materials used include glass, such as the merger of glass or enamel, wood, often carved or turned, shellfish and other animals from natural substances such as bone and ivory, clay natural polymer clay, and even plastic. Hemp and other tricks have been used both to make jewellery which has more of a natural look. However, any inclusion of lead or lead will prompt an English assay office (which gives the building its English jewellery seal of approval, the punch) to destroy the room. [Edit]

Pearls are frequently used in jewellery. These can be made of glass, stone, metal, wood, shells, clay and polymer clay. Beaded jewelry commonly includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings, belts and rings. Beads can be big or small, the smallest type of beads used are called beads, the beads are used for the "woven" style jewelry pearls. Another use of beads is a technique where embroidery beads are sewn on fabric backings to create a large pearl necklace around his neck and bracelets into pieces. Bead embroidery, a type of manual labor popular during the Victorian era is experiencing a renaissance in modern jewelry.

Form and function

Jewelry was used for a number of reasons:

* Currency, a rich display and storage,
* Use functional (like the clasps, pins and loops)
* Symbolism (to show membership or status)
* Protection (in the form of amulets and magical wards), [3]
* Artistic Display

Most cultures have at some point had a practice of keeping large amounts of wealth stored in the form of jewelry. Many cultures around marriage dowry in the form of jewelry, or creating jewelry as a way to store or display pieces. Alternatively, the jewellery was used as currency or trade good; an example being the use of slave pearls. [Edit]

Many jewelry, such as pins and loops for purely functional origin points, but has evolved into decorative objects as their functional requirement reduced. [4]

Jewelry can also be symbolic of a group, as in the case of Christian crucifixes or Jewish Star of David, or statute, as in the case of chains of office, or the Western practice of married people wearing a wedding ring.

Wearing amulets and devotion medals to offer protection or ward off the evil is common in some cultures, they may take the form of symbols (like ankh), stones, plants, animals, body parts (such as the Khamsa), or glyphs (As stylized versions verse from the Throne of Islamic art). [5]

Although the artistic display was clearly a function of the jewellery from the outset other roles described above tend to have primacy. [Edit] Only at the end of the 19th century with the work of masters such Peter Carl Faberge and Rene Lalique, that art began to take precedence over the function and wealth. [Edit] This trend has continued in modern times, developed by artists such as Robert Lee Morris and Ed Levin.
