Collectible jewelry

The history of jewelry goes back to the time when primitive peoples were just forming larger communities and the first seeds of culture were appearing. It has always served as a status indicator because only the wealthy could afford it. Although many thousands of years have passed, the role of jewelry has practically not changed at all. Its main building blocks are still metals and precious stones, and high-quality jewelry costs a lot.

Collector's jewelry is a special type of jewelry. In addition to the value resulting from the materials from which it was made, it is also characterized by exceptional aesthetic values ​​or historical value. Besides, of course, it is hand-made by past or present goldsmithing masters. These qualities give the jewelry a unique collector's value, and this makes the art market interested in these items.

Collector's jewelry functions

Both the ordinary and collector's jewelry can be divided due to the function it performs. Among all of them, there are three basic ones, namely:

- utility function - used to decorate an outfit, e.g. brooches or cufflinks. It is actually an integral part of it,
- religious function - e.g. in the form of talismans and jewelry for religious rituals. Has a special spiritual value,
- decorative function - serving only as decorations, such as earrings and bracelets. Probably the most popular type of jewelry nowadays,

Regardless of the function, jewelry determines the social status of the person who wears it. In the past, only rich people, clergy and representatives of the authorities could afford to buy jewelry. Today, in practice, everyone has such an opportunity, although the quality of jewelry is still determined primarily by the wealth of the wallet. Collectors are constantly looking for unique items, because in our industrialized world it is not uncommon for even luxury jewelry to be mass-produced. That is why collector's jewelry is so desirable in the art world.
