The Cultural Impacts & Differences

These changes, and even the use of jewelry, is not universal over different cultures. As a matter of fact, it seems to be completely opposite between different groups, times and even in different countries.

This jewelry was typically gold and also large pieces, similar to the cuff bracelets and heavy pendants that are still very much in vogue today. The Greeks soon branched out into different forms of jewelry including beading, delicate gold earrings and chains and even the smaller, finer rings that featured gemstones such as garnets, amethysts, pearls and emeralds.Religions have also used jewelry or rejected jewelry as a personal adornment,

By the 17th century this tradition had completely reversed itself with everyone wearing as much jewelry as possible in these countries. Interestingly enough most of the daily jewelry wasn’t even real, paste gems, fake pearls and even ornamental but artificially gemmed clasps to fasten clothing were all the rage, regardless of your position in society.easily available materials for daily wear and rare or valuable items in high end fashion pieces.
