jewelry Boxes For Women: Gorgeous Ways to Showcase Your African Jewelry
A number of cultures have influenced jewelry boxes for women. The men and women of the African culture for example have a long history of wearing jewelry. Back then and now, there are a number of materials that are utilized in making African jewelry.
The folks of Western Africa used huge amounts of brass. It was gold for the people of Akan. A lot of copper was also used by the people of Africa. There were some really special kinds of jewelry created.
The Senufo tribe's ankle bracelets are one such specimen. Worn by men, women and children irrespective of age, these were designed to look like boats. The men however found it difficult to wear these bracelets as it hindered their farming work.
Little bells were popular on women's bracelets and were often found on the people of the Dan and We Tribes. Decorative bells such as these were especially used when people wanted to dance. Specially styled earrings were quite the thing with the married women of Fulani. These were sticks of gold that were hammered into crescent shapes.
The tribal jewelry of African women is quite extravagant today especially that made by the Ashanti tribe. In fact, feasts are held to showcase jewelry. Women put on a lot of jewelry and perform ritualistic dances when the king dies.
christianity made an entry into Ethiopia in the 4th century. One form of jewelry that came about were ornate crosses that were put on a blue cotton cord and called mateb. These were made of silver as well as nickel alloys.
Africa is a massive resource of natural materials and jewelers made complete use of them. Coconut fragments were used to make coconut disc necklaces and these were popular in Nigeria and Guinea. It's not that easy today to find an entire necklace made of coconut.
Bone-based jewelry was quite popular among the women of Kenya. animal bone, gold and silver were mixed together to create chokers and necklaces. These were then further done up with precious stones.
African men often make use of wooden jewelry boxes. A common African wood used in making these boxes was the Bubinga. Guibourtia arnoldiana is its scientific name. Gabon and Angola are the main West African countries where this wood is found. Their beauty and durability are what made them so popular. They are resistant to wood-eating insects making them to perfect case for jewelry.
Wooden boxes made of other woods have their side panels made of Bubinga sometimes. Valets are also made of African mahogany. Pull out drawers are included in these boxes to hold men's accessories and the boxes came with wenge accents.
There is something really special about African tribal jewelry. You could always use your partner's jewelry box to hold your ornaments.
