Texture is not something we think about when we are looking for Jewelry. The word texture is associated more with fabrics than the world of necklaces. But if you remember that texture is the feel of something, then Jewelry has it and a lot of it. Have you ever held a piece of Jade in your hands an experienced the cool sensation of the smooth or carved piece? The Orient has considered Jade to have healing powers. One can see why when a sense of peace evokes from handling Jade.

The smoothness of a large ball of polished Lapis has a feel of timelessness while the Pearl has a feeling of being alive as it wants to slip through you fingers. The Pearl has been called the tears of the sea. An emotional statement for the lustrous organic gems that require no polishing or fussing with at all. Turquoise has that nubby feel of having just been extracted from a vein of rock. Dense in color at first then after polishing, the liquid color of a tranquil lagoon.

Crystal is like drops of pure water dancing in the sunlight but holding that sparkle whether day or night. Gold holds the pedigree of encasing a precious stone or standing alone. While a few stones enjoy a time of great popularity then wane as another craze takes its place, Gold is infinite. We also find the dependable, solid, presence of Sterling Silver to offer the spark of being highly polished up in a piece, or the marvel of an antique bead that has digested the test of time and acquired a patina of mystery as to its origin.

The textures of the Baubles and Beads we wear are as endless as the designs that can be created from them. They do not pretend to be any thing other than what they are, natural, valid Gems in their own right. Dramatic or passive, audacious or frivolous the way they feel in our hands and against our skin is a texture all its own. It has to be a very special sensation to wear a necklace that is a combination of stones, gold and silver. Imagine the textures that abound.

We are familiar with the luxurious feel of slipping on a silk blouse and how this makes us feel, or the warmth of a Cashmere sweater when the seasons turn cool. Next time you wear a favorite necklace, pay attention to the texture of it and how it makes you feel. Happy, confident, sexy, sophisticated. All worthy emotions to ensure the appreciation of a piece of Jewelry that will give comfort and joy for a long, long time.
