 Nothing beats the feeling of knowing that your jewelry was handcrafted
by an expert jeweler. For many indigenous groups, handcrafted silver jewelry has been an art form passed from generation to generation.
Mining for the silver to create handcrafted silver jewelry began in the Bronze Age. Known to the Romans as Argentum, silver held a position of esteem among ancient Rome and was restricted to be used only as currency or objects of esteemed importance. You could find silver in the decor of religious buildings and silver utensils and silver jewelry in the wealthiest households.
The Greeks made handcrafted silver jewelry and used silver as a disinfectant, and the Egyptians wrapped wounds in a thin paper-like bandage to keep out infection. The disinfectant properties of silver lead to the exclusive use of silver utensils, drinking vessels, and plates and food storage containers.
In modern times, for handcrafted
silver jewelry, try Native American or Mexican run stores. Although the
price will be more expensive than jewelry created by a mold, the knowledge
that someone spent time and patience over your piece is well worth it.
