Persian Jewelry
Rings
Persian engagement rings vs. Persian wedding rings:
Traditional Persian engagement rings usually have a valuable stone that either stands alone or is surrounded by other smaller stones. The engagement ring is usually given as part of an offer, or if not, early in the engagement.
Persian wedding ring, on the other hand, is traditionally a simple metal ribbon or a stone-covered ribbon of eternity that you receive and exchange when you exchange your vows at a wedding. Typically, there is a relatively significant price difference between an engagement ring and a wedding ring. Even if the wedding band has diamonds or other precious stones, their total weight in carats is generally less than the engagement ring.
Of course, you can throw tradition out the window. According to Taylor Lanver, a diamond consultant and designer of Lauren B.'s beautiful jewelry and diamond engagement ring, brides have a greater role in choosing and designing their rings. And not only do they break away from tradition, but they also diversify their engagement and marriage choices. "People do whatever they want and wedding bands give them the opportunity to be more talented," he says.

Why throw the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand?
Existence of a love vessel

Use less than the left hand

Bracelets
Where did the bracelets come from?
When the bracelets came into being is a matter of debate and there are a number of hypotheses and speculations about it. According to archaeologists, the ancient Egyptians used bracelets around 5000 BC. In 1995, a bracelet called an obsidian was found in Turkey, dating to 7,500 BC. Research has shown that the bracelet found was not the first to be produced, and that there were other examples before. These older specimens significantly improved the design and increased the quality of the specimens obtained.
In 2008, Persian bracelet experts obtained newer evidence that traces the origins of the bracelet to much older human eras. Russian archaeologists in Siberia were searching for the Denisfa Cave when they suddenly came across a collection of ornaments. There was also a bracelet in this historical complex. Carbon dating (to detect the age of discoveries) measured dating to about 40,000 years ago, and researchers were surprised to find that their findings were many years older than human history.
The bracelet is derived from the Greek word brachile meaning (belonging to the hand and arm). From then on, as now, bracelets were made from a combination of different materials. In ancient times, these materials included leather, rice grains or metals with suitable melting ability, leather fabrics and.. Today, plastic is also added to these materials. In later stages, the bracelet ring was mostly adorned with other materials such as precious stones, pearls, jewelry, wood, oysters, and crystals of decorative minerals. For this reason, it can be said that in ancient times, the value of bracelets was not constant depending on their quality, style and use.
