Ethnic Jewelry

Ethnic jewelry may get its name through a variety of different ways. These items often deal with group heritage. They may reflect religious or cultural philosophy or aesthetics.

The term ethnic jewelry is obviously English. Because it is rooted in Western tradition, when people utilize this phrase they often refer to any non-Western design styles. This includes a wide range of cultures from many different continents.

When searching for a specific style of ethnic jewelry, it is wise to find the names of actual cultures which have made use of such styles. Some examples include American Indian tribes such as Navajo or Oneida. It is also useful to keep in mind that some ethnic aesthetics may be rooted in older cultures which no longer exist.
