Personal AdornmentPersonal adornment has existed in some form since early man strung natural objects to add to his attractiveness or to access their inherent spiritual power.Traditional peoples use jewelry and adornment to display power, status, and age according to customs associated with gender and economic means. Religious and spiritual elements transform the purely ornamental into an amulet that will protect the wearer as well as enhance attractiveness. We specialize in traditional as well as transitional designs made by tribal peoples around the world. |
