Since the dawn of mankind stones have been used as adornments.
In ancient times gemstones in combination with precious metals such as gold and
silver have been manufactured into valuable pieces of jewelry, which ought to
reinforce the aura of dignity for their wearers and at the same symbolised their
exalted state in society. In some ancient cultures wearing gemstones even was
reserved only to persons of a certain heritage.
Many gemstones are said to possess magical powers. Presumably
as early as in the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Babylon gems were
applied as talisman and manufactured into precious amulets, supposed to protect
their wearers from diseases and black magic. Thus they were of course much
sought after as good-luck charms.
