Jewelry

An example of jewelry and religion impacting nations can be seen in the treasures preserved in ancient Egypt. Statues of Egyptian gods and goddesses were fashioned in gold, adorned with gemstone and precious metal symbols. A majority of the religious emblems like the lotus, scarab and others were used as motifs in bracelets, necklaces and rings, which adorned the higher echelons of the society as well as priests and priestess.

The stages in historical epochs and the rise of different religious practices, and their impact on jewelry, can be observed in the ancient cultures of Greece, Asia, Africa and other nations across the world. When Christianity was exposed to the Egyptian culture, a radical change was observed: Jewelry items using less gold and inexpensive gemstones began to dominate.

Another transformation in jewelry began with the spread of Islamic influence on Egyptian jewelry. Islamic religion forbade the use of gold by the men-folk, and this led to the slow transition with silver beginning to be the primary metal in making jewelry. The influence of Christianity on jewelry is still evident today. The commonest religious symbols are the Crucifix and the Hebrew Star of David. The Christian crucifix is believed to be the most widely recognized religious symbol in history while The Star of David symbolizes a strong belief in Jewish faith and good fortune.

The myth of the unicorn has been with us since ancient China and is usually depicted as a large horse with a single horn projecting from the forehead and it has been represented in the art and writings of many ancient cultures throughout Asia and Europe.

By the Middle Ages Christian Europe had endowed the unicorn with many symbolic qualities, both religious and secular. As well as representing purity and chastity it was often seen as a symbol for Christ.

Once accepted into Medieval Europe the unicorn quickly became an important element in art, including tapestries and textiles. The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries, for example, represent the mythical beasts’ relation with purity, as well as the myth that the unicorn could only be tamed by a virgin.

Part of the attraction of women’s designer jeans is the massive range of finishes available on them. These finishes dramatically alter the appearance of the jeans to give the desired effect. You can alter the color, texture, feel and perceived age of the jeans by using a wide variety of tools. In fact, the denim industry are perpetually creating new finishing techniques all the time. Here are a small selection of those techniques:

Stonewash
This does literally involve washing the jeans with stones. In this instance, pumice stones are used. The stones in the wash rub against the outermost layer of the fabric and make it look more worn. Color typically leaks out and the material fades slightly. Different sizes of pumice stones can be used to give different effects.

Colored
This is a fairly obvious finish and the fabric is dyed to give a new color. This finish can then be combined with others for a different look.
