Modern Jewelry giving Spiritual Protection







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
Florentine finishes, foxtail chains, mesh and similar are preferred for golden jewelry that is being worn during daytime. Alternative to this are string of pearls, natural or cultivated. These pearl based designs were very popular amongst the modern jewelry designers in 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

The use of new materials in jewelry designs in the seventies like rock crystals, ivory, wood or coral was mainly due to the fact that women spoke up and started to express their feelings about jewelry design. The womens movement and feminism of the seventies required from jewelry designers to make more personalized jewels.

And, with the dawning of the eighties and beginning of the nineties, people became more affluent and so modern designer jewelry took another turn and veered to the more glamorous, glitzy as well sparkling style of jewelry, and when Princess Diana wedded, there was a noticeable shift to elegance and also grace in the modern designer jewelry of this time.

When we entered the new millennium modern jewelry designers started to use even more materials in their creations to make them even look more special and unique. The use of hybrid metals, metal clay, synthetic materials, PMC , non-precious metals, synthetic gemstones, the coloring of pearls and multicolored diamonds ave given birth to a complete new style and look of modern jewelry.

A special place amongst jewelry designers and special designs is been taken without a doubt the designers of spiritual jewelry, talismans, amulets, jewelry for protection, sacred jewelry and so on. These designs are made for protection and the possibilities to receive special blessings and powers from nature. The Spiritual jewelry designs are based on ancient traditions and their basic forms have always been more or less the same. This Spiritual Jewelry has a very long tradition , probably from the beginning of mankind. Today's spiritual jewelry is modern with the same traditional forms and traditions but using a different process and different material to create them. These designs are unique and special and a very worthy alternative for more classical designs. If you want to look different you should take a look at the Spiritual Jewelry.
