Workers who made implements or weapons for battle became the first jewelry craftsmen.
As they worked with metals to make the implements of war, they discovered the fine art of using the metals to create precious jewelry.
The jewelry trade came to American with the first settlers. An artisan could repair a broken farm implement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a wagon wheel or fashion a wedding ring. New York City became the leader of the precious metal industry in the 1890's with the first jewelry store opened at the beginning of the 19th century.

The Internet and television shopping channels also claim a large portion of jewelry sales.
Many celebrities now have their own line of jewelry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. These are mostly sold on television or up-scale department stores,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Usually the designs are high-fashion and elaborately crafted.
Jewelry is worn by men, women and children of all ages. It has become increasingly popular. There's always joy in giving jewelry to mark major occasions such as engagements, weddings, birth of a child, anniversaries, etc. Jewelry will be around for eternity.
