Modern Designer Jewelry Is Reflective Of The Events

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

Jewels during the day and 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

Because trends change every so often, the seventies saw the blooming of women's movement and feminism became the new driving force that saw yet another change in women's fashion purchases, and it was now time for the jewelry of this era to look and feel much as women wanted them to appear which meant a more personalized style of jewelry becoming the new rage. It saw changes in type of materials used and now wood, ivory as well as rock crystals and coral became incorporated in the modern designer jewelry of this era.

The eighties and beginning of the nineties were marked by a glitzy, glamorous and sparkling style of jewelry design. The wedding of Princess Diana of Wales was marking another turning point when jewelry became more refined and elegant

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.

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.
