Tidbits: Antique Thailand Jewelry History
In old Asia,
before banks were omnipresent, silver and gold were money.
Jewelry pieces were silver and gold; so for both men and women,
their bodies were like banks. The more wealth you had, the
more silver and gold you wore . When you needed money, you
sold off what you had on you as you wanted, or needed. As
coins of gold, silver and copper were universally accepted by weight
worldwide, so was jewelry, but mostly silver and gold.
Some old pieces
can be found, but have been converted into modern style use and
adaptations, including loops and posts where able to be attached and
still retain the old beauty. Some of these pieces are as they were
originally, but some have been adapted to modern ways.
As men had to
work, more women were ‘banks’ than men were, so the form of ‘bank
accounts’ became the lady of the house’s jewelry. Labor
for silver and gold-making was cheap. People did not think of
making jewelry as labor as it was deemed a small cost of the item.
Antique jewelry then, was in fact, another form of money.
Jewelry motifs took on symbols of culture, religion and good fortune
and health so people felt good about wearing them.
Silver and gold quality ranged from pure to base. |
