Historical Influences
Gemstones and jewellery are a universal form of adornment. It is likely that from an early age, it was worn as a status symbol and as a protection from the dangers of life.
In the ancient era, the discovery of how to work metals was an important stage in the development of the art of jewellery, and over time, the metalworking techniques became more sophisticated and the decoration more intricate.
The expansion of jewellery throughout history demonstrates human creativity, artistic expression, and cultural diversity.
During the ancient era, jewellery was crafted from basic stones, typically as amulets and seals; metal ornaments were extremely rare at that time, and adornments were mainly made from stone, clay, bone, and seashell.
These days, modern jewellery design encompasses a diverse range of styles and materials and draws inspiration from various cultural influences.

In contemporary times, jewellery for men is also a common phenomenon. As centuries passed, so did the jewelry designs evolve.
Today, the jewellery pieces we find in stores are strikingly different from those in ancient times.
