Pearl jewelry

From many years, women are fascinated about jewelleries. Jewelleries are made of various precious metals like gold, silver and platinum. Diamond is one of the precious among jewelleries. Even pearl jewellery has earned a good amount of popularity. Pearl sets generally come with a necklace, ear rings and finger ring. Separate matching bangles are also available. They are very light weighed jewelry which can be worn by a woman in any occasions. Previously natural oysters were he only source of pearl. But nowadays with the increase demand of pearl jewelry, oysters are cultivated and cultured naturally for pearl production. This has helped to meet the demand. The price of pearl jewelry is also within the budget of the customer.

Government Policies blamed for Global rise of Diamond prices

The recent rise in the prices of diamonds, even more drastically over the last couple of years has been attributed to the problems in the mines of Africa, particularly South Africa that has constantly been rocked by protests by the workers and management alike. These protests, aimed at the government and their new policies of import and export of diamonds allow the government to keep a major cut from the sales while on exports, the mine owners have to pay a lot more to the government. These protests have seen mining completely halted at some of the mines and as a result, the global price of diamonds has increased manifolds.

Jewelries – Then and Now

The use of jewelry has been in vogue since times immemorial and archaeological evidence suggests that the first time it was worn was way back during the Harappan civilization. The Egyptians were also known to be fond of jewelries and their Kings were buried with huge caches of jewelry with them. But in present times, the use of jewelry has become highly varied and is worn by women of all ages to enhance their beauty. Designer jewelries have become the craze in recent times with designers like Versace and Ralph Lauren launching their own brand of designer jewels.
