Jewelry is often ranked among the so-called luxuries. Is it true? Basically, we need clothes to protect us from the cold. Without food a human starves to death. But one can live without jewelry.
It’s strange, but even in the very distant past, primitive people punched holes in beautiful shells and put them around their necks as necklaces. They still wore animal skins as clothing, but also wore bracelets made of pebbles on their hands. Why was it so important?
Necklaces, paintings, toys, figurines and knickknacks — we surround ourselves with these things since the early days of human history. Even the smallest girls’ eyes light up at the sight of the colored beads or bright pins. They instinctively grab them from you and try putting them on.
Science has discovered a vital need for vitamins in our life. Now it is clear that one can eat pounds of food and not be hungry, but it’s possible to die or become seriously ill from the lack of a tiny vitamin’s molecule. I believe jewels are vital for our soul, just like vitamins are to our bodies.
