Mythology of sterling silver jewelry
Silver jewelry is steeped in mythology from all cultures who have used their cultures. A part of many religious ceremonies, offerings and symbols, money has been used for thousands of years. A Much of today's jewelry is made of sterling silver, because of the sweetness of money, but it remains one of the strongest materials revered.
The name itself already gives us some first impressions of the precious metal. One of the first English words for money is "seolfor", which was used between 450 and 1100. This term comes from Proto-Germanic words earlier, including "silubra" and perhaps the earlier term for the metal comes from the Akkadians, who is believed coined the terms "sarapu", which means refined silver, and "sarapu", which means to refine or smelt. This tells us that cultures, even thousands of years, had made the beauty and versatility of the metal and the benefits that could be achieved through merger. The chemical symbol for silver, Ag, comes from the Latin argentum, which means "white" or "brilliant". This could indicate that the former likened it to the stars or detained religious significance of its luster.
Many cultures have developed their own mythology about money because of its highly reflective, Brilliant feature. One of the first cultures to use the money in their own mythology the ancient Greeks. Hesiod was a poet and is believed to have lived during the 8th century BC. In his poem Works and Days, Hesiod contained the five ages of man. The Silver Age is the second period, between gold, the first age, and bronze, the third age. The poem is partly based on the characteristics of metals – gold – very soft, money – more difficult, bronze – even more difficult and mythology still continued to date Olympics. The gold medals are said to represent the age when men were among the gods, the silver medal represent the age when young lasted 100 years, and the bronze medal means the era of heroes.
Another source of rich mythology of the money comes from Mexico, one of the largest silver producers in the world. Around 500 years ago, the Aztecs used money in their jewelry and clothing. One of the reasons the Aztecs used money is the reflective nature of it. Mirrors in Mexico, which have been made Highly polished minerals were symbols of portals for the world of spirits. In effect, Tezcatlipoca Aztec God, translated as smoking "Mirror" and shows the importance of the matter to the Aztecs.
Money is still evident also in the ancient chakra system – the system setting out seven sacred energy centers of the body. Money is associated with the sixth chakra, also known as the "third eye. In this sense, money is certainly the concept of reflection, both physically (as the substances are reflective silver) and as an internal exercise of self-analysis. The recent upsurge in popularity of practices such as the chakra shows us that the mythology of the properties of silver is still active, and that our interest in the precious metal will live for centuries to come.
