Cultural Objects from Africa
Much of the African culture places great emphasis on
appearance and therefore jewelry has remained a very important personal
accessory. African jewelry has been given tremendous attention for
centuries. African jewelry is an ancient and time honored art form
that reflects African culture. All of our African jewelry and artifacts
are completely hand made, authentic, and African in origin and design. Owning a piece of African jewelry is owning a piece of African culture.
Cultural Objects from India
Jewelry has
always played an important part of lndian culture from ancient times to
the present day. Early forms of Indian jewelry were amulets, or
ornaments which were worn to protect or empower the wearer. Indian
jewelry, a symbol of the great tradition and culture of India, comes in
glorious pieces of shells, precious stones, metals, glass beads and
turquoise.
Cultural Objects from Thailand
Thailand
is famous
for its culture filled with history, tradition, and uniqueness. Jewelry
and art from Thailand is a combination of the modern techniques along
with the traditional styles. There is the traditional fine metal and
silver work that Thailand is famous for as well as the more modern
designs in wood, coconut, bamboo, and beads all indicative of Thai culture.
Cultural Objects from Indonesia
The
culture of Indonesia and its people has been shaped by a long
interaction between original indigenous customs and multiple foreign
influences. This is apparent in the art and jewelry that emerges from
Indonesia. Their unique jewelry, accessories, and craft are made
locally but have a global feel.
