Jewelry and the woman's body
Über das eBook
The arts are a true mirror of the society in which we live, as they reflect its ideas and culture, including beliefs, customs, and traditions. Jewelry is one of these arts that is closely linked to society, as its forms and expressions are often derived from the symbolism of beliefs, and sometimes from the natural elements present in the environment.
The human desire to adorn himself with jewelry and beautify himself with it is considered one of the strongest, most influential, most persistent, and most widespread desires, as he is guided to it by nature. Women were more concerned with adornment than men. Humans may adorn themselves with necklaces, rings, and bracelets made of stones, ivory, bone, shells, metals, glass, and beads.
Jewelry has multiple cultural connotations, revealing the artistic, cultural, and craftsmanship level of each era, as it developed according to human needs. He developed a classification for it, and for this he took care of its production methods, construction systems, and weights, in order to achieve its suitability, both standardly and anatomically, for wear locations.
The researcher of ancient Egyptian jewelry finds that it was produced according to the measurements of the human body and its anatomical nature, in order to be compatible and compatible with different wearing positions. So he decorated the head with a circular collar worn over the forehead and surrounding the head, and used small necklaces consisting of narrow rows, tied with two threads, to wrap around the neck and under the chin, while the pendants developed, to become in the form of a necklace or chest necklace, to wrap around the neck and hang on the chest, and at the beginning of the New Kingdom era they developed. Manufacturing solid bracelets with "hinges" to help in putting them on or taking them off by opening and closing them.
The ancient Egyptian also used a "balancer" behind the back, as a weight equivalent to the weight of wide collars, to keep the collar in place and not slide over the chest. He paid attention to the weakness of the earlobe, so he decided to reduce the weight of the earrings, after the widespread use of large, thick, and heavy types of them, which led to deformation of the earlobe.
Throughout different eras, humans have innately tried to find compatibility between themselves and the items of jewelry, in order to reach an optimal, safe, and comfortable use.
