<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 306442, member: 2844&quot;]Ethnic jewellery, though generally made of precious metals, has a separate &#039;following&#039;. In auctions and museum collections it is seen as part of ethnographic art, not of jewellery. Don&#039;t ask me why, it is just as much jewellery as Western jewellery, but one could argue that symbolism is of greater inportance than in Western jewellery. It is also less influenced by fashion, although there are certainly changes due to outside influences and changing tastes. </p><p>Most ethnic jewellery is non-tribal, just like most ethnographic art is non-tribal.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, we sell ethnic jewellery in our Etsy shop, and I make it a point to include regional European, Viking and Celtic jewellery, and Native American jewellery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
