Jewelry is much more that a piece of metal. It's something you may feel deeply connected with.
Whether you wish it or no, the jewelry you wear is telling a story about you. Whatever you carry, a fancy or simple jewelry, expensive or not very expensive, it can complete your image and how you feel. This can also show what is important for you, tell about your memories, send a message into the world. Giving a touching, meaningful jewelry gift to your friend can change his or her mood. You can wear a ring of your grandmother and feel a great importance of the family treasure. A piece may be not that valuable or even very beautiful. However, its value can become invaluable to you.

We have chosen some quotes about jewelry. Choose the one that you would define as yours, as the one that reflects your relationship with jewelry too.
''If I had my way, I'd wear jewelry, a great pair of heels and nothing else''
What about this one? We would tell you more. If you have a good suiting, well chosen jewelry piece on you, this may truly become the main accent of your image or even style. So that people may remember your jewelry, and not clothes or other accessories. ..As if you really had just jewelry on...
‘’A piece of jewelry is often a piece of art. But it only becomes valuable when emotions are added to it’’
''Jewelry is something that has to do with emotion. That aspect of jewelry really interests me''
Jewelry as means of status isn't so interesting anymore. Stylish and self confident people don't show up their status or wealth. But they may speak loud about their values and send a message to the world - not with words but in a more unique way - with jewelry. If you order a custom design, you put not just your phantasy but also your emotion inside, and so the jewelry gets an additional value. Your emotion ans sense put into the piece is unique, so becomes the jewelry itself.
''I like for jewelry to tell a story and to be able to talk about what I'm wearing. That's more important to me than a name, brand, or label''
It gets more and more likes, fans. But it doesn't mean, it's plain and not expressive. Just what gets more attention are simple designs but with symbols, signs, sacral words with put feeling inside. Bracelets, necklaces, pendants and rings well combined can tell a story not just about the person's likes and dislikes, preferences and taste, not just about the style, but about the personality and even way of living.
Star of David Pendant
''Jewelry and pins have been worn throughout history as symbols of power, sending messages. Interesting, it was mostly men who wore the jewelry in various times, and obviously, crowns were part of signals that were being sent throughout history by people of ran''
Mostly men...then mostly women.. and now both men and women wear jewelry, each for own reasons.. but yes, as said, in any case with a unique story inside.
So it has come to...
Inspirational jewelry is much more than beautiful accessories. It's not used just for fashion or fun, inspirational or religious jewelry can also be of particular importance to the wearer. This can make a statement, express a personal message to the world, or make a special gift to the friend.
Inspirational jewelry
As any other type of jewelry, inspirational jewelry look beautiful. It can be made of precious metals and gemstones, as well as in alternative materials such as wood, beads or leather. But in any case it's not just nice looking, but emotionally, psychologically or spiritually attractive as well.

Symbolism has become a real trend, allowing you to express your individuality through jewelry and tell the world about your own originality. It allows to emphasize the authenticity of own style and its harmony with the inner world.
It may seem that everyday earrings, bracelets, necklaces come with a new trend - symbolism. However, symbolism in jewelry has been existing since ancient times.
But if not speaking about status, what the jewelry can tell about? Let's consider different meaningful jewelry types.
- Quote engraved jewelry
This is the simpliest way to personalize a jewelry piece. A quote engraved in mother tongue or encifered in a foreign language makes a great motivation or inspiration gift to remind about something important every time the person puts the piece on. Or if you choose the jewelry for yourself, it can tell about your motto or direction in life.
- Ancient ans Spiritual Symbols
There are symbols that came to us from ancient cultures, such as Celtic ones, carring energy of history and culture in themselves. Choosing a symbolic jewelry piece, make sure, its meaning suits you or the person it's meant to be the gift for.
To this kind we can also refer Religious symbols, such as Star or David, Hamsa or Kabbalah symbols, a cross etc. Kabbalah scripts have a hidden power. If one believes in it, this may become a true support and a beautiful friend to carry with. Bible verses have eternal wisdom and so add the meaning to the jewelry when engraved with those.
- Love symbols
It's a deserved separate type of jewelry, dedicated to the most important feeling. Hearts, stars, red roses symbols, promise rings, inscripted poems and dedications, confessions and prayers. Shown up or in a hidden message engraved, these make the most touching romantic gifts for loved ones. The process of choosing the meaningful engraving, a symbol of your love such as an infinity sign, says by itself, how much you care.
- Memorial jewelry
This type of jewelry may symbolize, your heart will always remember someone who isn't there anymore. These are KIA, POW bracelets, pendants etc.
- New mom or Dad Jewelry
Today it's easy to get a quality engraving not of words only. These could also be special signs, one-of-a-kind-symbols or even EKG, heartbeating. So you may order a jewelry piece with ultrasound picture engraved to make a memorable gift for new mom or dad.
Here are some more motifs noticed in ...
Minimalism
The wish for minimalism in the age of consumers is an excellent way to declare to the world about your rejection of material values. Laconic designs become more and more popular.
Irony and sarcasm
Modern jewelry trends give a possibility of laughing at oneself. Modern jewelry offers various ironic designs: earrings in the form of a skeleton of fish, cufflinks in the form of jaws... and such accessories are not just for teenagers. They can complement even a formal style showing an ironic and easy approach to life.
Environmental problems
The theme of global warming also touched the masters of jewelry. In order to express their empathy with the urgent issues of preserving the ecology of the planet, designers create authentic jewelry in the form of flasks with a miniature ecosystem, garbage products that make it possible to make society attentive to the problem also in this way.
Some artists act directly, for example, Victor Sabido Basteris created a unique line of jewelry made from recycled silver. The method of metal processing can almost halve the amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere and energy consumption.
Jewelry has a plenty of functions. Earrings refresh the face, a brooch draws attention to the neckline, a bracelet - to graceful wrists, rings give a special sensuality to the hand. A pearl necklace or a ring with a precious stone, given to the girl for graduation, is a kind of initiation rite, an indication that she has become an adult. Father, husband or lover, presenting the woman with precious jewelry, shows her his attention, love or just how much he cares.
Jewelry can also be a memory or tribute to tradition. Thus you may start your own tradition, of bringing a new jewelry piece from every travel, and this will be a reminder of good memories, emotions to stay with you.
Talisman...
For centuries people believe that jewelry can heal and protect, enhance health, bring good luck, soothe or give strength. Jewelry really can charge us with the confidence that nothing bad will happen to us.
Everyone looks for ways to express own originality, through a unique style of clothing, manner of conversation or a style of jewelry. The modern jewelry market allows you to experiment without any limits.
Do you use this way of expressing your style? How do you like it? Share with us!

Nice review! I like modern jewelry. I also think, jewelry should be meaningful and reflect thoughts, moods, motifs… If not, I don’t see any sense in it at all.
