Histoire de bagues de fiancailles

 
Ou et quand cette tradition? La première preuve de cette pratique remonte
à l’Egypte antique, où il a été donné un cercle qui symbolise une « boucle sans fin »
et l’espace dans le cercle représenté une sorte de portail d’une nouvelle «dimension» de leur vie.
 
Même les Romains utilisaient quelque chose de semblable. En fait, il existait la coutume de
donner un anneau sur lequel était gravée une petite clé. Selon l’interprétation la plus commune,
c’est la promesse de la femme pour protéger le coeur du futur marié. Pour d’autres,
cependant, il peut également indiquer l’ouverture d’une porte symbolique
vers un avenir de richesse et d’abondance pour le couple.

Tips On Buying Wholesale Costume Jewelry

By Jaclyn Hurley


Reproduced jewelries which are mostly molded from original items have been sold everywhere. You will be stumbling with different versions and designs of these costume jewels from shops in different states in the United States. Most likely, these items are also produced and assembled overseas before being sold in the country. Many of these are copied from original brands in various designs and styles.

You can identify if a wholesale costume jewelry have been reproduced from an original brand by its size alone. Mostly these will be bigger than their counterparts because of their larger molders. You can accurately do this by having a reference such as a book or you can ask a friend for an expert advice.

Secondly, how thick the treatment is also one good way to find out if it is a reproduced item. These jewelries are often in monotone and does not have any shadings. Some people would say they look inferior in terms of quality as well. These can be also gilded with silver and vermillion and often times molded out of plastic.

Another accurate indicator if you are serious in this matter is the mark that is on the jewelry itself. You may need deeper and updated knowledge on company markings though because this could change from time to time. A company line might be different now compared to its previous years.

These variations could possibly originate from the way these items are created, specifically mass produced. Furthermore, mountings on these jewelries could also differ in the way it is designed. Reproduced mountings are usually casted in singles while its original counterparts have mountings soldered in one piece to create more space.

Because of this, mass produced ones will have a spaceless and tighter structure compared to the originals. The space in between the mountings are quite closer than the former versions, one of the things you can immediately notice when looking at it. Also, if you examine closely the prongs of your items you can see it is either made thinly or made thickly.

To explain further, thick prongs are indicators that the jewelry is mass produced. It has such characteristic to firmly hold the stone together with the mount. In fact, these will often extend right up to the girdles. Conversely, vintage jewelry will have a thinner prong structure in order to display the beauty of the stones.

Moreover, mass manufactured jewelry will have unbent prongs because of production efficiency reasons. It is quite easy to just glue those stones directly than to spend time in bending prongs to give it a firmer hold. On one hand, originals will have bent prongs which are intentionally created to securely hold its stones.

If you have plans of buying jewelry through a wholesale store, please know if you like to buy the reproduced ones or the originals. The only line that divide both these identical items could be the quality and the price. It is not that bad to buy those reproduced if you know you are getting the value you are paying for. What is disappointing is that you pay for something less than the value of your time and money.
