What does your Jewelry Say about You?

Jewelry has been part of the human experience for more than 100,000 years when it was made from natural materials like seashells, feathers, and bones. Ancient Egyptians were among the first to wear rings, while Romans popularized the use of gemstones. Diamond engagement rings became popular in the mid-1900s. Trends come and go (remember mood rings?), but the need to communicate who we are, what we believe and where we come from hasn’t changed much.

Jewelry helps us share our status, commemorate milestones, and express our personality. What do you want your jewelry to convey? From wedding bands and engagement rings, to class rings and family birthstone necklaces, so much can be understood about a person just from what jewelry they wear.

As you choose your jewelry for the day or an evening out, consider the story you want to share. Are you supportive of a certain community (an alma mater, LGBTQIA, a club) or perhaps you want to share your ancestry by wearing a piece associated (a claddagh ring, a piece with a family crest or heirloom pieces passed down through your family).

Let your jewelry provide details about yourself and help express who you are. Looking for a new piece to share the story of  you? Stop in to Bridgewaters and let us help find just the perfect item!
