It is so amazing how people thousands of years ago gave value and reverence to their jewelry. Every piece of their jewelry has a story to tell. The art of jewelry making was significantly embedded in their culture and way of life. These make the history of jewelry full of interesting accounts.
Silver holds a great part in the fascinating history of jewelry. Ancient people and tribes in the mountain ranges wore silver for protection against illnesses and evil spirits. They regard silver as symbol of wealth and social status. They also trade their products with silver coins to keep their economic stability.
The native's skills of crafting silver jewelry is an expertise handed down from fathers to their sons. Nowadays, only very few artisans possess the same expertise and we are fortunate at JeGem to have with us some of these few master artisans with unsurpassed calibre in creating unique jewelry.
