The history of jewellery is inseparable from the history of mankind. Archaeological findings suggest that already ancient human ancestors leading a nomadic lifestyle made simple jewellery from shells, animal bones or leather. The jewellery of that time served various functions: utilitarian which protected against charms, bad energy or informed about the status of the person wearing it. In ancient Egypt and Greece, jewellery-making entered a higher level as new materials such as copper, silver and gold began to be used. Those ornaments served in many religious rituals because people believe in the power of necklaces or rings. Over time precious stones were added to metal ornaments. The most powerful rulers wore jewellery which became an obsession of the crowd who had no access to it at all in everyday life. At the time jewellery was treated as a luxury good, which only the wealthiest could afford.
JEWELLERY
The 19th and 20th centuries observed intensive development of the jewellery industry, which expanded thanks to the development of new means of transportation and easier travel. This influenced the process of cultural intermingling. European jewellers began to experiment with Arabic or Japanese design. New methods, further designs and increasingly daring ideas for making jewellery required the use of specialized tools by the goldsmiths. Abrasives played an important role in jewellery making processes. To create precise and beautiful works of art we need various abrasive instruments such as cloth or non-woven flap wheels with holes, conical or cylindrical sleeves. Our abrasives serve as perfect tools for surface conditioning of jewellery.
