The Arabs are always considered exotic, striking and remarkable in everything that is about elegance and style, so their jewelry undoubtedly has an exuberant and attractive shine that catches and conquers anyone who appreciates it; In addition, it contains a valuable and representative meaning.
Its history dates back to the civilizations of ancient Egypt, where a deep meaning was applied to whoever wore a jewel. Carrying and wearing a jewel represented social status, protection and royalty.
In ancient times, the Egyptians used gold and silver in their clothing and accessories, with the former being preferred. The jewels were used by men and women with inlays and details in precious stones that, together with gold, silver, copper and bronze, formed a remarkable piece.
The pharaohs and those of high rank were privileged to enjoy the use and benefit of exaggerated amounts of jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, diadems, among others; which attributed power, authority and protection to them. Even so, the jewels were also used by many people to attract luck and ward off evil spirits.
Very popular were the rings, which represented a valuable meaning of authority. It was very common for this to have a representative decoration of a snake, an eye, a beetle, among others; symbols that meant protection against any negative and dangerous influence that could come against.
That said, it also happened that when a person died and he belonged to the high social class, countless amounts of jewelry, of all kinds and styles, were placed in the grave as a symbol of protection.
Currently, we can evidence many of these important pieces in the Cairo Museum, also known as the Egyptian Museum, where there is a large collection displayed with pride, value, meaning and satisfaction for being coveted by large numbers of people.
However, today, the culture of many Arab peoples keeps the meaning and esteem for jewels very ingrained, but under another approach. For the most part, they are given by men to women, especially in cases of marriage commitments, with the appreciable meaning that the woman can feel loved by her husband; and in case he dies, she is able to sell them as a way to survive.
Likewise, wearing them is a representative way of achieving admiration before many. They are frequently used at family gatherings, engagements and weddings; the preference for gold and stones is maintained.
In all the Arab countries there is an eternal and deep love for the acquisition of jewels, making them appreciated and considered with a high and deep value. Which, without a doubt, makes brightness, design and style excellent complements of beauty and power.
