For millennia, humans have looked to nature for inspiration, knowledge, and power. It is no wonder that the earliest of humankind started making personal items in the image of plants and animals that they felt had magical and mystical properties. They believed that if they had items in the shape of an animal, it would impart some of the creature's power to the owner.
Jewelry was merely an extension of this belief. Many pieces are actually fashioned out of animal bones, wood, and stone because it was readily available. These hand carved pieces of jewelry had more value to the tribes people of prehistoric times because of what they represented as opposed to what they were made of.
Today, you can find pretty much any animal or plant immortalized in gold or silver. It would seem that even in our rapid evolution and new found reliance on technology, we still like jewelry in the shape of dolphins, wolves, and even leaves. I'm guessing most people think that such items are pretty, which they are, but I would like to think that there is still some magic alive and well in the world that we draw from nature. Besides, even today in our scientifically and technologically driven world, nature still guides our path and inspires our imaginations.
