The use of jewelry has been with us through time with the men and women seeking to adorn their persons with these ornamental devices. The word jewelry is anglicized from an old French word â € € œjouleâ (jewel), but the origin can still be traced back to the Latin word œjocaleâ € â € which means plaything.
While we normally think of as jewelry made of precious metals and precious stones over the centuries has been made of various materials as cloth, wood, shells, rocks and stones. In fact, human was very ingenious and artistic in creating jewelry from almost nothing and in many different styles of simple and easy to sophisticated.
Jewels have also been taken as powerful symbols and even worn to ward off evil spirits or to help overcome enemies in combat.
Examples of jewelry worn with the exception of clothing, collars, as the cross or crucifixes worn by Christians as a powerful religious symbol. Other types of religious necklaces known as amulets, which are numbers or symbols of different shapes and sizes, which are hung on a chain around his neck.
href = "http://www.love2have.co.uk/necklaces.html"> Necklaces called medallions, which are usually heart-shaped is used as a symbol of love and opens to reveal a picture or a lock of hair from a loved one.
Necklaces and earrings are both a pendant around her neck, but generally means that an order to suspend, but may be suspended from a neck chain or an earring. A choker is also a form of necklace, but is used in the neck and may also have a pendant there.
Perhaps the strangest of necklaces are worn by people of Pa Dong Long Neck, belonging to the Karen tribal group living along the border between Thailand and Burma. At the age of 6 years, brass rings break the neck of the girls, a few each year to a maximum of 20 rings, although there is a woman on the record as have 28 around the neck. As they move from childhood to adulthood, the neck seem to grow even as apparently this is really happening is that the overwhelming weight of the clavicles of women rings € ™ s giving the illusion of a long neck.
They say that these women take off their rings bronze on her wedding night with a long involved process, which involves much neck washing. That bronze has often tends to discolour the skin one can imagine that there may be a mess rather unpleasant green under those rings. After the wedding night rings are replaced and must remain in place for life, like the Women ™ € s muscles the neck is now strong enough to withstand the length of the neck and the weight of the head of his.
This use of neck rings was also a practice adopted by women in South Africa and especially the Ndebele tribe and these women have often been described as giraffe women because of its long neck. Ndebele Women traditionally wore copper rings and copper arms around their necks and legs as a symbol of their status in society and marriage as a symbol of their union and fidelity to her husband. Husbands to provide their wives with these rings and the richest of her husband over her rings and would be removed after his death, as it was supposed to have strong ritual powers.
Fortunately, both the Pa Dong and the Ndebele tribes, this traditional practice is more popular and is dying for the most common types of collars.
