The Pearl, the Gems Queen

The pearl has been one of the most cherished gems throughout human history. Interestingly, it begins its life as an irritation for a living being. A grain of sand enters an oyster’s shell, and to isolate itself from this intruder, the creature covers it with a white substance known as nacre. The process is slow, much like life in the ocean. A 10mm pearl can take between 10 and 36 months to form.

Jewelry and Butterflies

Jewelry and Butterflies Home  :: TH Magazine :: Jewelry and Butterflies Those mystical creatures have a lot to do with the jewelry Since the dawn of history, humanity has regarded butterflies as divine creatures, imbuing them with powerful symbolism. From the earliest indigenous tribes of the Americas to the Greeks, Chinese, and Japanese, every culture has its own myths and beliefs connected to these beautiful creatures. Butterflies are often associated with spirits, fate, and are considered manifestations of the human soul. They also represent love, purity, or rebirth. At certain times, they were worn to commemorate a deceased loved one or to express spiritual victory or resilience achieved by the wearer. Regardless of the reason, one must recognize that there are few examples of pure symmetry and geometric beauty in nature like those of butterflies. Today, I would like to share a small selection of jewelry pieces from different periods that feature butterflies as their central theme. Jade Butterfly, Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.) A truly rare and valuable piece, this jade butterfly was crafted during the Qin Dynasty, around 221 B.C. Its current price is €48,849.         Gold Necklace with Diamond Butterfly and Ceylon Sapphire This gold necklace, featuring a butterfly adorned with diamonds and centered by a stunning Ceylon sapphire, was crafted in the 1950s. Its current price is €19,706.         Convertible Jewel: Pendant, Brooch, or Ring This unique piece, made of shell pearl, pink sapphire, and gold, can be worn as a pendant, brooch, or ring. Its current price is €17,870.         Cast Iron Necklace, Prussia (1840) This necklace represents a trend of humility and modesty that emerged in 19th-century Prussia. In contrast to the French court’s luxurious fashions, Prussian dresses were simplified, using lighter and less expensive fabrics. This shift inevitably influenced jewelry design as well, with gold being replaced by cast iron. The piece shown here dates to around 1840 and is attributed to Siméon Pierre Devaranne. It is priced at €10,625. Gold, Diamond, and Sapphire Necklace, Van Cleef & Arpels This sophisticated necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels, made of gold, diamonds, and sapphire, is available for €7,607.         Platinum and Diamond Brooch, Tiffany & Co. (1996) This platinum and diamond brooch from Tiffany & Co., dating back to 1996, is for sale at €5,477. An interesting fact about Tiffany is that they were the first to set diamonds in platinum instead of silver, which was common practice at the time due to platinum’s higher melting point (1768°C compared to silver’s 961°C) and the difficulty of working with it. A Look at the Jewelry Industry in Spain A quick internet search shows that D’Or Joiers is the jewelry company with the highest revenue in Spain, generating €24 million annually. Much of this income comes from producing pieces for Tiffany & Co., their only client. With solid investments in their own gold museum (D’Or Museum) and the hospitality sector, the company has managed to minimize the impact of the industry’s struggles during the pandemic. While most companies in the sector have experienced significant losses, three out of the ten leading jewelry firms have seen increased revenues. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? Cancel reply Logged in as admin.

Buying Jewelry In Difficult Times

Buying Jewelry In Difficult Times Home  :: TH Magazine :: Buying Jewelry in Difficult Times JEWELRY AS A WALLET During times of war and crisis, our focus tends to be on the issues of the day. There are few topics that truly capture our minds if they don’t directly offer a solution to current problems. But is there room for buying jewelry amidst today’s challenges? Surprisingly, yes. Jewelry has always been a symbol of prestige, wealth, authority, and power. Today, it may be more of an accessory for most people, but its importance has not diminished. Whether it’s for a significant occasion such as a wedding, birth, communion, or anniversary, we always seek something unique and irreplaceable. What about as an investment? You can buy jewelry as an investment, but only if you’re thinking long-term. When you purchase an artistic piece, its value will likely multiply over the years. This increase can be seen in two ways. First, over time, the artist may gain more commercial success, leading to higher prices for their works. Second, and no less important, the value of the materials used to create the piece, such as gold or gemstones, will also rise. For instance, in 1998 the price of gold was around 292 USD per ounce, while in 2018 it closed at 1281.65 USD per ounce (Source: https://www.cotizacionrealoro.com/historicos-graficas-evolucion-precio-oro). Therefore, buying jewelry is more connected to prestige, heritage, or collecting, rather than resale. Curiosity: In Russia and former Soviet countries, there is a tradition of gifting gold jewelry to young girls. These pieces become their personal treasure, which can act as a tangible savings in times of crisis. The sanctions imposed on the bank accounts of Russian nationals living across the European Union have severely impacted their lives. In many cases, the way to survive this crisis lies in the jewelry each woman has accumulated throughout her life. And in the short term? Personally, I wouldn’t recommend buying jewelry for short-term resale. Most jewelry loses at least 50% of its retail price the moment it leaves the store. What you often buy in most jewelry stores is a type of „jewelry confection,“ which, in the event of a resale, will only recover part of the value of the materials used. Buying expensive jewelry in difficult times? I would say yes. After all, the value of money is constantly falling, while decorative objects and art tend to appreciate over time. Moreover, in times when banks are pushing to digitize money and phase out physical cash, these objects can be a good solution for maintaining solvency. In this way, beyond adorning your wardrobe on special occasions, what you’re acquiring is long-term peace of mind. It’s about stability with no alternative in any other asset. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
