Handmade Gemstone Beaded Jewelry - The Fascinating...
Sometimes Mysterious History and Origin
Throughout time...unique handmade gemstone jewelry
has been sought for it's
legendary mystical powers and striking beauty...
If you find yourself in love with beautiful handmade beaded jewelry,
you know that you are
not alone! In fact, you'll find that looking
back through history, people have always been
interested in adorning themselves with handmade beaded jewelry.
The wearing of handmade beaded jewelry goes back thousands of years,
and you'll find that
no matter what sort of unique handmade jewelry
you like, there was probably a culture or
a civilization that loved it as well!
Wearing Handmade Beaded Jewelry to Protect...
Though handmade beaded jewelry started with things as simple as
stringing the teeth of animals on a leather thong, gemstone jewelry
soon entered the scene in both a finished and unfinished capacity.
Many people used to believe that certain stones had specific powers
and that by wearing them, they could protect themselves.
Protective amulet gemstones were very common, and though this might
have simply started out with people carrying the stones on their
person, it soon became common for them to be found on many different
kinds of handmade beaded jewelry, such as pendants, on rings, on
necklaces and on earrings.
Unique Gemstone Beaded Jewelry - Powers of Health and Well Being...
For instance, people believed that the beautiful green emerald was a
gemstone of the mind
and that by wearing one, one could become
significantly sharper when it came to things
like studying and quick
reflexes. Coral was often used in handmade beaded jewelry to
protect mothers during childbirth and to protect sailors from drowning.
Rubies promoted economic stability and were often thought to be good
for blood-related
illness, while opal was thought to be an excellent
gemstone to wear for health of the soul.
Handmade Beaded Jewelry…Wondrous Gemstones All!
In the past, handmade beaded jewelry could be quite different from
what we see today. For instance, in a modern context, we think of
ruby, sapphires, diamonds and emeralds as the only precious stones.
The ancients would prize carnelian, moonstone, opals and lapis stones
that we think of as semiprecious.
Similarly, stones were often cut differently. Today we are
used to seeing stones in handmade beaded jewelry that have been cut
to show off their best features, while in the past, many more stones
were cabochon cut, which means that they had a rounded or oval surface.
Donia,
“I talked with you at the Charlotte show. I fell in love with that
turquoise necklace that was a double strand and had smoky quartz
in it. I'm wondering, if you have sold it? I looked on the website
and don't see it. Although, there are lots and lots of other
beautiful things. Thanks"
