Abstract | ||||
Gemstones and jewelry have been a part of mankind since ancient times, with early jewelry made from pebbles, feathers, bones, and shells. Gems were prized for their durability and beauty. Diamonds became more common after the discovery of cutting techniques in Europe around 1300. Jewelry served various purposes, including as amulets for protection and symbols of power. Different civilizations, such as the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines, had their own unique jewelry styles and techniques. The Middle Ages saw a decline in luxury jewelry, but the Crusades brought new influences from the East. Jewelry-making techniques have evolved over time, with modern methods such as 3D printing and CAD/CAM being used today. The jewelry-making process involves designing, CAD/CAM, model making, rubber molding, waxing, casting, grinding, filing, metal setting, and polishing. | ||||
