Once upon a time in a distant Galaxy... people appeared on a beautiful
blue planet. When and how has it happened? We are still trying to
discover that...
People were not really civilized, as we understand the word
"civilized" nowadays. They did not have science and scientists. They
knew nothing about the world they lived in. Nonetheless, they tried to
get to know it.
They tried to find explanation to everything that was happening to and
around them. However, they could find only "magic" explanations to
everything. To their mind those magic powers ruled nature, harvests
and diseases. Magic could help get power over some fellow-tribesmen
and get favour of others.
As a result, magic was the only explanation to everything that did not
have another one. Accessories became the language of magic. Jewellery
was the most important component of the magic accessories. Amulets
could protect its wearer from foes and illness, bring happiness and
wealth, tell or hide important information.
Many peoples came to and vanished off the blue planet. Sometimes they
could contact each other. Sometimes they could not. Then the power
that the jewellery got over every of those peoples is even more
astonishing.
Centuries and millenniums passed away... People became civilized as we
understand it now. We invented machines, raised up into the air and
reached the bottom of the oceans. We have got many sciences and got to
know ourselves and the world around us. However, once the jewellery
got power over people's mind it kept it.
We are so wise and civilized... but we keep looking for its help. We
use it to give or hide information about ourselves. We use it to
affect our mood and subconscious part of mind in order to reach our
inner goals. We use it to get advantage of specific behaviour of other
people. We use it just to express ourselves.
Just as centuries ago we use jewellery language, that we do not dare
to give up. What magic power does it have over us? Is it magic power
at all? How did it happen that every people has got its own "jewellery
language", yet we have modern "international jewellery language", that
anybody can understand now? Why do we have need of it?
However, the civilization brought into the "language" something new.
Often we want to show how special and different we are from others.
Often we want to show our individuality and pass the information that
we are modern and have style. Style and fashion suddenly became the
main "phrase" of the jewellery language in the 20 century. Jewellery
designers have become the experts of the language.
Why has it happened? Do we try to hide information about ourselves
behind the stylish trinkets? Maybe we need them just to feel happy?
How can you learn jewellery language? How to start using it for your
own good? What does "stylish jewellery" mean in a modern world? What
is it made of and how does it look like? How can you announce "I am
fashionable!" but keep your individuality and elegance?

and behaviour? How can they affect people who see them being worn by
