Welcome to World Culture Jewelry! This travel website is dedicated to exploring the world through its jewelry and gemstones.
Rock people all know that there’s a certain magic to stones. I’ve visited gemstone mining sites throughout Asia, Mexico and the United States because I like going to the source of things and the place where these stones come out of the earth has always held an intrigue for me. I’ve also met cutters, polishers and jewelers throughout the world. As a result, I’ve grown to love jewelry as an art form and as an expression of culture, as well as learning to respect and appreciate stones from the common to the exotic.
When you explore a region by looking at its native stones, you gain a deeper understanding of the place on many levels. Its geology and history comes alive. Its native craftsmen and jewelers express the art and culture of all the peoples who have come and gone and left their mark.
The story of jewelry is the story of humanity. From earliest times beads have been used as currency and you can follow their trail around the world. Ideas traverse seas and continents and what emerges is a vibrant world of jewelry that is both universal and unique.
World Culture Jewelry is a travel website, but its focus is on the world of jewelry, minerals and gemstones. Come along and explore this fascinating world that begins in the deepest realms of the planet.
