Jewelry was something that was only worn by the elites of a Kingdom and that does not count for many! The first signs of Jewelry making were seen in Africa and Egypt. Out of the two places, more established and well crafted jewelry was discovered from Egypt where the wealthy not only wore Jewelry when alive but took it with them to their Grave.
Over the years the skills of crafting fine jewelry out of precious metals such as gold and silver has paid off the craftsmen handsomely and still continues to do so. As of now it is not limited to just gold and silver but many a people today prefer Sterling Jewelry. It is comparatively less costly but the rare craftsmanship is what makes it rare.
If we observe and think about various things that were considered rare in the olden ages but have lost that uniqueness, we can count many but we won't be able to find Jewelry in that List. The reason behind this is that we have not yet accepted jewelry as a non luxury item and have continued to constantly find rare gemstones to help the industry keep interesting. Secondly, the creativity, inspiration and aspiration of the Craftsmen has provided this art stability and constant growth. These efforts over the years have led to many sub industries that focus on keeping this luxurious industry alive, even in the worst financial crisis seen by the world.
One such industry is the Jewelry Display and Packing Industry. One needs the right means to display his art and Art is what I consider Jewelry Making to be. Similar amount of creativity and efforts are required to come up with a display unit that rightly blends with the emotions of the Jewels it would be required to Display! This is why I tag Jewelry as becoming Common yet staying Rare!
