An Expert’s Review of Jewelry
Mention the word jewelry and some people will even wake up from a coma. These items of personal adornment are highly valued in our modern society that is preoccupied with fashion. They are a symbol of prestige. Economists would categorize jewelry into a category of goods they call, “goods of ostentation”. People (I am talking about the super-rich who actually live, not exist) would buy more of them when their prices are higher and few when their prices fall.
Examples of jewelry are rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and watches. Under the category of rings, we can talk of wedding rings and engagement rings that we are all expected to have at one point in our lives.
Perhaps this is the only type of jewelry that you will not be judged for its quality; the society will be more concerned about you not having it than you having one of low-quality.
Earrings, just like the name suggests, are worn in the ears for beauty purposes. Vivienne westwood earrings sale mostly used by women although there are also earrings for men. Unfortunately, the society has always been quick to label men who wear earrings as gays. But that is a topic for another day. Earrings vary in their prices depending on their quality. We have earrings that are coated with gold, silver, and other such precious ornaments.
Traditionally, people who wanted to use earrings had to undergo the ritual of ear-piercing but that has changed since the introduction of earrings for unpierced ears. That has even encouraged parents to adorn their kids with this special vivienne westwood sale jewelry.
We can also talk briefly about necklaces. Could they be the most common type of jewelry? Yes, they are the most common especially in the music industry. Some people also wear them for spiritual reasons; there are some special necklaces that the users believe brings them good luck and casts away bad omen. Just like earrings or any other type of jewelry, we have golden necklaces (yellow, white, or rose gold) and sterling silver necklaces. One important thing to note about necklaces is that they convey a lot of message about the owner.
So be careful about the message you want to pass out there before you buy a necklace with the shape of a snake (I am just giving an example, I actually love snakes).
Next in our list of jewelry are bracelets. They are worn around the wrists and they serve different functions, depending on the person wearing it. It can be worn for spiritual reasons- to carry protective charms, or just for beauty. Some people wear them for identity. As human beings, we want to have something like a signature or a trademark, something that will give us an identity. Well, that is what the bracelets will do for you.
Finally, we can talk about the watches. Apart from being an instrument of time, they are also used as a sign of luxury. Actually, with the introduction of mobile handsets that shows us time, watches have almost been rendered obsolete. But this is not the case among the super-rich.
I know a business executive who bought her daughter a golden Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date just watch for losing 25kgs. I guess you don’t want to know the price. So if you thought watches have been rendered obsolete by technological advancements then you better think again.
We have discussed at length about the various types of jewelry that you can buy for yourself or as a gift to someone special. I would write more about jewelry but I have to stop there because I have to go and buy a necklace. Thank you for reading.
