More Popular Than Ever: Braided Leather Jewelry, Turquoise and Leather Necklaces on MostOriginal.com

July 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Turquoise stone has adorned jewelry since the days of the ancient Egyptians and it has for many years been treasured by Asian, Middle Eastern and Native American cultures. People are drawn to turquoise jewelry because of its striking beauty and mystical properties.

A charm is defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as a small ornament usually (dangling) from a bracelet or chain as a Charm Necklace http://www.mostoriginal.com/Handmade-Jewelry/Necklaces/
The wearing of charms in general began as a form of amulet to ward off evil spirits and bad luck – a tradition spawned by pre-historic man, believe it or not – 75,000 years ago!

In ancient Egypt, turquoise charms were used for identification and as symbols of faith and luck. Charms in general also served to identify an individual to the gods in the afterlife. Then, in the days of the Roman Empire, Christians would use tiny fish charms hidden in their clothing to identify themselves to other Christians. Jewish scholars around this time would write tiny passages of Jewish law and put them in amulets round their necks to keep the law close to their heart at all times.

Since 2002, a new trend for European charm bracelets and necklaces emerged in both Europe and North America. Disc and Leather Necklaces with Charms are part of the unique jewelry collection by MIZZE - Made for Luck, available at MostOriginal.com.
