The Feel of a Exclusive Necklace
Saturday, 14. November 2009
Texture is not something we think about when we are looking for Jewelry. The word texture is associated more with fabrics than the world of necklaces. But if you remember that texture is the feel of something, then Jewelry has it and a lot of it. Have you ever held a piece of Jade in your hands an experienced the cool sensation of the smooth or carved piece? The Orient has considered Jade to have healing powers. One can see why when a sense of peace evokes from handling Jade.
The smoothness of a large ball of polished Lapis has a feel of timelessness while the Pearl has a feeling of being alive as it wants to slip through you fingers. The Pearl has been called the tears of the sea. An emotional statement for the lustrous organic gems that require no polishing or fussing with at all. Turquoise has that nubby feel of having just been extracted from a vein of rock. Dense in color at first then after polishing, the liquid color of a tranquil lagoon.
Crystal is like drops of pure water dancing in the sunlight but holding that sparkle whether day or night. Gold holds the pedigree of encasing a precious stone or standing alone. While some stones enjoy a time of great popularity then wane as another fad takes its place, Gold is timeless. We also find the honest, solid, presence of Sterling Silver to offer the glint of being highly polished in a piece, or the wonderment of an antique bead that has stood the test of time and taken on a patina of mystery as to its origin.
The textures of the Baubles and Beads we wear are as infinite as the designs that can be produced from them. They do not affect to be any thing other than what they are, innate, valid Gems in their own right. Striking or passive, insolent or frivolous the way they feel in our hands and against our skin is a texture all its own. It has to be a very exceptional sensation to wear a necklace that is a combination of stones, gold and silver. Imagine the textures that bristle.
We are acquainted with the princely feel of slipping on a silk blouse and how this gives us the feel, or the warmth of a Cashmere sweater when the seasons turn cool. Next time you’ve on a favorite necklace, pay attention to the feel of it and how it makes you feel. Blissful, assured, sexy, sophisticated. All told suitable emotions to ensure the admiration of a piece of Jewelry that will give comfort and delight for a long, long time.
