People have always been fond of jewellery and it has been present in various forms in their lives since the beginning of our civilization. At first the function of jewellery was fulfilled by animal bones, teeth or stones, later they were replaced by more and more sophisticated materials, such as various metals and gemstones, which often carried beautiful ornaments.
Jewellery was worn eagerly in equal measure by both men and women. It was used as an adornment, but it also had a symbolic function or it could be a sign of affluence. People of different cultures in ancient and medieval Europe developed unique and distinguishable styles of their jewellery, by which they could be recognized. Today, the rich designs and ornaments based on the jewellery of the past still find a wide circle of enthusiasts.
Silver is a popular material used for historic jewellery reproduction. It is a truly unique and fascinating kind of artistic jewellery, as it is a very accurate and precise form of jewellery making, scrutinizing and bringing closer to us the everyday life of the people from the distant past. If you are interested in a particular culture, for example Viking or Celtic, you would surely consider a necklace or a bracelet from that period a really nice treat.
Historic jewellery artists try to reconstruct the adornments of the past as accurately as possible. Therefore they deal not only with those jewellery items that are popular today, such as silver bracelets, earrings, necklaces or rings, but they also try to show us some less common objects, for example neck torcs, fibulae or belt fittings. A piece of jewellery based on an item from a particular period in the history can serve as an absolutely unique gift for a special occasion and a great adornment for your attire.
