Modern Jewelry giving Spiritual Protection

By David R.

In the last few decades modern jewelry designers have been very aware of the events occuring in the world and they have made special designs inspired by those events. We only have to think about the first atomic bomb. This event has inspired modern jewelry designers into the creation of jewelry reflecting starbursts and sprays of diamonds. Jewelry design also implies taking in account the time of day or night when the jewelry is being worn. Daytime usually reflects gold jewelry while during the evening and night diamonds are the preferred choice

Jewelry you can use during the day and others for the night

So, if you are interested in gold jewelry items that incorporate a modern designer jewelry look and is worn in the daytime, you would find many Florentine finishes and mesh as well as foxtail chains and many other similar designs, while another alternative for daytime use is a string of cultured pearls that were most representative of modern designer jewelry that was most popular during the fifties.

The colorful sixties marked a radical change in the use of materials by jewelry designers. Instead of using the traditional diamonds, gold and platinum these modern jewelry designers also started to make use of less noble materials like gemstones, silver, geode crystals and even regular metals like steel or copper. Women started to use these hybrid jewels because of their colorful designs

Trends are known to change very often so in the seventies the jewelry designs were influenced and inspired by the blooming of feminism and the womens movement. This lead to a complete different type of jewelry designs. Women started to have a major influence on the designing of jewelry because they expressed their likes and dislikes. Jewelry started to look as they wanted by incorporating new materials like wood, ivory, rock crystals and coral.

In the eighties and beginning of the nineties people tended to become more affluent which was noted by the jewelry designers and they started to create more glamorous, sparkling and glitzy styles of jewelry. When the princess of Wales, Lady Di wedded there was again an obvious change in the creation of designs , shifting to a more elegant and graceful touch.

From that moment until today there have been many changes in modern jewelry design especially the incorporation of synthetic materials, non-precious metals, hybrid metals, metal clay, PMC, synthetic gemstones, the coloring of pearls and multicolored diamonds. These new designs of the 21st century are more unique and special than ever before.

From ancient time when man started to be aware of it`s presence on this world and the acknowledgment of the existence of supreme powers the jewelry designers of old have produced amulets, talismans, jewelry for protection and sacred jewelry in many different forms and designs. This tradition of creating Spiritual Jewelry has never disappeared. Even today modern jewelry designers still make spiritual jewelry based on the ancient traditions. This spiritual jewelry is made to offer protection and blessings from God and Nature and their unique designs are precious and a worthy alternative to more classic designs.
