Jewellery

During earlier times jewellery was created for practical uses such as wealth storage and pinning clothes together, in recent times it has been used almost exclusively for decoration. The first pieces of jewellery were made from natural materials, such as bone, animal teeth, shell, wood and carved stone. Jewellery was often made for people of high importance to show their status and, in many cases, they were buried with it. Jewellery has been made to adorn nearly every body part, from engagement rings, diamond rings, wedding rings, dress rings, earrings, pendants and many more types of jewellery. While high-quality is made with gemstones and precious metals, there is also a growing demand for art jewellery where design and creativity is prized above material value. At Artisans Gems and Jewels we cater for all your desires.
