Jewelry-How, When, Where and Why
Jewelry, as you must have been aware, has been around since the birth of man kind. At first it served a strictly terrifying purpose that is to put pointy objects into your bodies, so that wild animals will thing twice before devouring you. Later, he realized instead of making such small pointy objects, he can make larger longer more lethal weapons of close range combat, and he rounded of the sharp edges of their jewels. On seeing their reflection in water, they sort of admired the new way they looked with all the necklaces and earrings, and nose piercing, and immediately attached special cultural importance to the jewels. This is before the advent of precious metals, and man didn’t know which more parts of his body to cover up with jewelry. Then suddenly, one suspecting victim who was shoved into a unimaginably deep hole, bored into the earth, came out with a piece of shining stone, fashioned like a ring.
Everyone instantly got amazed, this person had a stone which could sparkle and split the light of that very sun, which they reckoned as the Supreme deity. Instantly jewelry came to be associated with being the insignia of kingship. This theory was further supported or substantiated by the entire wealth which was found to have entombed with the boy king Tutankhamen. Howard Carter might have brought upon himself an irrevocable curse by opening up the hidden labyrinths of the Valley of Kings, but his digs bear testimony to the jewelry trends of a certain civilization in the history of man.
What are the Jewelry Trends of the Present Era?
Read between the lines and you can safely conclude that mankind could never accept a single state of existence as its final one. He always felt the deep and guttural desire to seek out new things, to stand out among the rest, to let the world know its innate ability to not become a part of the pack. Individualism is the other name for rebellion. And when you rebel against conventions, you first know the conventions to the tee. Nowadays a lot of designers are reinventing the classical jewelry pieces for the Victorian era and from the heydays of the Hollywood classics. The jewelry made famous by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s is being made famous by style icons of the 21st century.
Body Piercing
Body piercing is the current rage when it comes to innovative ways of making you look beautiful. While previously piercing the ear lobe o at most the left nostril was considered mandatory by Indian females, with the renewed interest tribal fashion people are taking to septum and bridge punctures even. Eyebrow and lip piercing has been made famous by metal and punk bands, and navel piercing is a Middle Eastern import. The funnies fashion trend is nipple piercing which hurts like hell but people consider it extremely conducive to a happy married life. I guess that even seems like child’s play compared to the spine pierced corsets now being made famous by avant garde art groups in France.
