It seems we are working harder and harder just to get by while the household bills get more elevated each and everyday. We have all been programmed to save for the future, invest a portion of your income in 401k, IRA Roth and what not, in an ideal economy that is what we should do. When times get tough and jobs get scarce maybe we should rethink how we are investing our hard earned money. Not that we shouldn’t save for retirement and the future but sometimes it is too difficult to cover daily expenses and do so at the same time.

When we take a look at our household budgets and see just where we can trim and where we can’t sometimes it is just impossible to keep up with the rising bills. That is when we look into what other options can be available to us if a second job is not applicable. One way to generate more money is to obviously curb ones spending. Another would be to rethink how much you are investing for the future and if you are having trouble living in the present. Some may say invest now while the stocks are low which again is great if you can afford to get by while doing so but if you are having problems then it should be avoided until the boat gets going again.

There is something to be said for the way our grandparents lived, there were no retirement accounts, they lived within their means and saved what they could for the future and worked hard and lived what some might call a simpler life.

Costume jewellery serves many purposes. It can be beautiful, stylish and an object that both the wearer and those who see it will enjoy. It can also complement a woman’s outfit and add a dash of romance and excitement to what she is wearing.

The ancient Egyptians wore it both in life and when buried in their tombs. It can be traced back through the Greek and Roman times to the beginnings of human history. Very early on, jewellery often served a dual purpose of fastening clothes and also displaying wealth. Museums often have displays of ancient jewellery and give accounts of how it was made or the purpose for which it was used. The pervasive presence of jewellery throughout history speaks to the human desire for something new and beautiful to demonstrate one’s sense of style.

While jewellery has always existed, it was only about 75 or 80 years ago that what is now called costume jewellery began to be made and worn. Very old jewellery is called antique, but there is virtually no difference between it and more modern creations.

Jewellery has been popular through the ages, including the era called Elizabethan England. In the 16th century, the art of gem cutting did not include the complex faceted cuts that are available today, but many precious and semi-precious stones were used. Hand-carved cameos were popular, and a lot of gold work was done. It was in the late 1500s that women no longer covered their hair and ears with enveloping headwear and began to wear earrings. Some began to pierce their ears to accommodate one type.

During most of the 18th and early 19th centuries, jewellery is referred to as Georgian because four King Georges ruled Great Britain during those years.

That was followed by the Edwardian style from 1901 until 1914 and Art Deco jewellery from 1920 until 1935.

At the present time, in what we might call the modern era for jewellery, brooches, necklaces, pins, rings and other such items have become more affordable. Many people, both men and women, have a collection of pieces they have accumulated. Currently the most popular types of jewellery include: necklaces, bracelets, clip on earrings, pierced earrings, brooches, hair clips and scarf rings.
