wooden gift box By Carole Fradette

Israel News Agency Out of all the creatures inthe animal kingdom, only humans seek to adorn themselves. As farback in the past as primitive man, jewelry took on this role in avariety of forms. Small objects were of primary importance, withsome examples being found in the early Neolithic strata of thecaverns in mas d’avil. It was here that many piercesstags’ teeth were discovered, often still in the shape of anecklace with its holding twine long since disintegrated. Jewelryobjects have recently been found in pre-historic Africa that dateback about 75,000 years. And one other fact remains unchanged.

If the jewelry was precious then so was the presentation of it.Gold boxes and leather, cotton and silk pouches were created toprotect the jewelry and to present it with elegance and style.Today, not much has changed.

"I started my jewelry packaging business 21 years ago becauseeach time I went to buy a gift from a jewelry shop, the onlypackaging I found was unattractive and made of cheap plastic so Idecided to change the world and sell better packaging," saysRobert Yedid, General Manager of

Exclusive Jewelry Packaging.

"When I started the jewelry packaging business, decentpackaging was very expensive so I designed a new line of packagingwhich had a European chic at very affordable prices."

Yedid

states that good jewerly demands excellent packaging.

"One can see throughout the centuries and from culture toculture, the materials considered rare and beautiful have rangedfrom shells, bones, pebbles, tusks, claws, and wood to so-calledprecious metals, precious and semiprecious stones, pearls, corals,enamels, vitreous pastes, and ceramics. They might fashion a broochout of steel or plastic rather than gold or platinum. In additionto its decorative function, during much of its history, jewelry hasalso been worn as a sign of social rank."

One can see celebrities as Adrian Grenier, Andy Milonakis, AngelinaJolie, Anna Kournikova, Anna Nicole Smith, Arnold Schwarzenegger,Ashlee Simpson, Ashton Kutcher, Avril Lavigne, Ben Affleck,Beyonce' Knowles, Bill Clinton and Brad Pitt offering diamond ringsand gold neck chains to their partners.

Britney Spears, Brody Jenner, Bruce Willis, Cacee Cobb, CameronDiaz, Carmen Electra, Charlie Sheen, Charlize Theron, Cheryl Burke,Christian Slater, Christina Aguilera, Colin Farrell, Courteney Cox,Courtney Love, David Beckham, David Hasselhoff, David Spade, DemiMoore, Denise Richards, Eddie Murphy, Elliot Mintz, EnriqueIglesias and Eva Longoria have all been known for sporting offtheir best and most precious jewels with the finest

jewelry packaging."The first materials used to make objects for personaladornment were taken from the animal and vegetable world,"says

Yedid. "A great variety of shells and pieces of shell were usedduring the prehistoric age and are still used in certain island andcoastal cultures to make necklaces, bracelets, pendants, andheaddresses. In the inland regions the first materials used forpersonal adornment came from mammoths’ tusks, the horns ofreindeer and other animals, and, later on, amber and lignite.

Of gold’s properties, when it was first discovered (probablyin Mesopotamia before 3000 bc), it was the metal’smalleability that was a new phenomenon: only beeswax, when heatedto a certain temperature, could be compared to it. Gold’smolecules move and change position in accordance with the stressesto which it is submitted, so that when it is beaten it gains insurface area what it loses in thickness. In modern jewelry, goldcan take on a variety of hues when it is alloyed with other metals:water green, white, gray, red, and blue.

After gold, silver is the metal most widely used in jewelry and themost malleable. Although known during the Copper Age, silver madeonly rare appearances in jewelry before the classical age seen inIsrael, Greece, Rome and China.

"In general, silver was, and still is, used in jewelry foreconomic reasons or to obtain chromatic effects," saysClosely related to the human need for ornamentation was the use ofjewelry as amulets endowed with magical powers. For a trueunderstanding of the growth and history of the importance ofjewelry and precious stones, one has to be aware of the indeliblebelief that precious stones could affect the fortunes of thewearer.
