Jewellery has been utilised for a number of different purposes throughout the years. While originally designed to ward off evil spirits, it soon became a way to demonstrate wealth and power, with most jewellery wearers coming from a certain class of people.
Over the last hundred years, however, more and more options have become available, making jewellery something that anyone can wear for any occasion.
The most common reason to wear jewellery today, then, is both as a fashion statement and a way to show who you are. But how can you show who you are with a simple ring or a bracelet?
Well, oftentimes, people simply choose jewellery based on their own personal fashion preferences – which, in a way, indicates certain personality traits in itself. But there are also those who are not so conscious of fashion and are more inclined towards their own virtues and personality.
If this sounds like you – and you want to know more about the best ways to instill your personality in your jewellery – then here are the most common ways people are doing it in 2023:
The Rise Of Personal Jewellery
Over the last decade or so, personalised jewellery has become more and more common. This is especially true when it comes to religious jewellery.
Religious jewellery, in itself, is a way to let your inner virtues and beliefs shine. If you were to wear a star of david necklace, for instance, then people would immediately see that you are a member of the Jewish faith.
But many religious people own religious jewellery, which has subsequently led to a rise in personalised pieces – such as bracelets, necklaces and ankle bands – as a way to distinguish the owner and their relationship to their faith. Even if you are not religious, however, personalised jewellery is a fun, sentimental way to show who you are.
The Colour Of The Soul
Many people also utilise colourful jewellery to distinguish them. This is not as simple as saying: green’s my favourite colour, so I’m going to wear emerald jewellery.
In fact, it goes a lot deeper than that. In 2023, many people will wear coloured jewellery to indicate their mood as well as their own personality – with mood rings being one of the bigger jewellery trends over the last few years.
In this way, it has become possible for you to tell people who you are and also how you feel depending on the colours that you are wearing at any specific time.
Spiritual Stones
Of course, one of the most popular forms of jewellery in 2023 are spiritual stones – or crystals – which people wear to protect them from anxiety, sadness, and bad vibes or to infuse luck into their day.
In terms of showing who you are, this jewellery type is also very effective, as people often choose to wear crystals and stones with a purpose that relates to them personally.
In this way, it can also be said that the purpose of jewellery has reverted back to that very first purpose thousands of years ago. Jewellery is now commonly used to ward off evil spirits, only those evil spirits are inside our own minds and thoughts.
In the process, then, specific crystals can effectively tell a story of your own personality, your own story, your own purpose and your drive to better your fortunes and become the best version of yourself.
