Jewelry was the bizarre type of power—at moments, it was so insignificant that it was hardly noticeable, and at other moments, it could become so overwhelming that it would dominate an entire life. Not a person's style, but a very subtle and indirect expression of the most profound emotions of the soul. Most of the time, we don't even understand ourselves... yet a small ring, a simple locket, carries the whole idea silently.
In fact, the worth of jewelry is not always in the glitter of the piece but more often in the times with which it is united. A little necklace may be merely a pattern for a person, but the one who is wearing it… for him, it is the past. A promise made by someone, the feeling of being supported by one's own self, or the confidence that a person has grown within himself.
The most surprising thing about jewelry is that it acts as a storage tank for sentimental memories. We put it away, may not think of it for years, but when we take it off… the memories of the whole life come to the mind like a flashback. That moment, those people, that place—everything starts to feel as if it is happening right then.
Moreover, jewelry is a very different mirror of an individual's personality. People with simple studs are mostly calm, and well-organized—typical personality traits of people who are not fond of noise. People, however, who wear loud hoops have a completely different kind of confidence with them. A tiny minimal chain holds a little bit of gentleness with it, while a hefty bracelet is a sign of power. Jewelry, not even uttering a single word, tells kainke everything— about us as well as our moods.
At present, jewelry is not only a matter of style but also a comfort ritual. Even when we are running late in the morning, we still choose to wear a ring or a chain as it is the thing that gives us the feeling of being complete, "Yes, I am ready." Whether it is a workday, a test, or an important event— just a small metal piece inside of us is the one that brings the necessary calmness.
The greatest thing about the modern jewelry is its modesty. Most of them are fashionable because they are perfect for our daily life—Lightweight, smooth finishing, skin-friendly metals, minimal gold, sterling silver. Not heavy, not loud, and not uncomfortable. Just very natural, the way we would like to feel ourselves.
Everything is so much simpler than before, and we have online shopping to thank for that. Nowadays, the task of choosing jewelry that drains your energy and patience is over; rather, it is a calm task. You can make up your mind about what you want while being at home with a cup of tea and according to your mood. If it is to surprise someone, to pamper oneself, or to capture a memory—there is no walking or moving involved, just clicking.
Nevertheless, what is the purr-fect thing? Jewelry is always within our grasp. We had it during our healing time, we had it when we were celebrating, and sometimes, it rescues us from falling. Very small, yet emotional, it is there with us in every life’s highs and lows, a great support.
So, jewelry isn’t always just worn…
It's felt, lived, and kept.
It keeps on giving us the hint from time to time that no matter how much we change—our narratives never get lost.
