International Jeweler's Day is celebrated annually on January 31st. Since ancient times, jewelry has been an indicator of the standard of living, status, position in society, and taste. Expensive stones, both before and now, help to stand out from the crowd, show your level and originality. We see beautiful rings or chains with precious stones on the shelves of jewelry boutiques, but they go a very long way before they get to the windows. Today we will find out what kind of work jewelers do so that we can enjoy sparkling stones on our hands.
Story
The first jewelers appeared a long time ago. People have always loved to decorate themselves, and if you are a rich person, then you simply have to stand out from other people by putting on something so that everyone around you understands that you are not made with a finger.
The first precious jewelry was made from materials such as shells, animal teeth, flowers, berries, leaves, and in general from everything that was easy to get. And then people realized that polished stones can also be very beautiful. So people began to wear stone talismans around their necks. As time passed, people improved their skills and polishing, which was previously used only for ordinary stones, began to be used for precious gems. Later, people discovered metals, which made it possible to make more attractive jewelry, moreover, it was lighter and, therefore, more convenient.
The birthplace of jewelry is Ancient Greece. In Ancient Greece, the first jewelers began to carve stones and later made jewelry from precious metals.
Investigating the history of the appearance of jewelers in Russia, historians have come to the conclusion that jewelry making began in the ninth century. Jewelry in Russia has always been highly valued; in the royal domains, the crown, scepter and orb were always made of jewelry.
The holiday itself, International Jeweler's Day, arose in 2002 at a festival in Kostroma. This festival was called “Golden Ring of Russia”. And six years later, this holiday was established in Tashkent.

Afanasyev Day, Afanasy the Clematis
Severe frosts set in on Afanasyev Day (Photo: hqphotografer, Shutterstock)
Old style date: January 18
Athanasius the Great, whose memory is celebrated on this day, is considered one of the fathers of the Greek church. He was archbishop of Alexandria in the 4th century.
Afanasy was nicknamed Clematis in Rus' because severe frosts occurred on his day. “Frost grabs the lazy by the nose, and takes off his hat in front of the nimble”
, people said, noting that in cold weather it is worth moving more.
There were other sayings about the weather: “On Afanasyev’s day there is the most heeling, the most frost”;
“Athanasius the clematis has come - take care of your cheeks and nose”; “The frost is not scary when your nose is covered .
There were many signs associated with Afanasyev Day. If the day turns out to be blizzard, you shouldn’t wait for early spring; The clear weather at noon suggested otherwise. If crows fly and circle in flocks, this means even more frost. The loud humming of the samovar also foreshadowed the cold. By the way, the cold was perceived without negativity: it was believed that the ground frozen in winter would produce more crops in the summer.
People believed that in the frosts of Afanasyevsk, witches fly to the Sabbath and there they lose their heads from excessive fun. When they return, they try to harm people. Therefore, on this day it was necessary to drive out evil spirits from homes.
Exactly at midnight, healers began to cast spells on the chimneys, through which, as it was believed, the witch could fly into the house. Ordinary men themselves drove out the evil spirits - they took whips, shafts and walked around the village with them, pounding on the walls of houses, stables and barns.
Name day on this day
Alexander, Afanasy, Vladimir, Dmitry, Evgeny, Emelyan, Efrem, Hilarion, Kirill, Ksenia, Maxim, Maria, Mikhail, Nikolay, Sergey

Picture for Jeweler's Day
On January 31, a wonderful holiday is celebrated - Jeweler's Day, when everyone is allowed to exalt talented people who are capable of creating beauty. The ancient Egyptians back in the 3rd century BC. e. mastered this art, their massive gold jewelry was a symbol of power, so only the nobility wore them. And in Russia, the first jewelers appeared only in the 15th century, and these also came from Greece. And only Peter I at the beginning of the 18th century opened a factory in Peterhof where industrial processing of precious stones began.
The beauty of stones is felt by real jewelers. Their golden hands create masterpieces: stones, framed in a skillful frame, play and shimmer, captivating with their beauty. Only true masters are capable of creating a work of art from an uneven piece of glass or a piece of precious metal. Jewelers have their own patrons: in Orthodoxy these are Saints Cosmas and Damian, and among Catholics they are Saint Dostan.
One of the oldest professions When the conversation once again comes up about the oldest profession, be less categorical in your conclusions, we are not talking about women of easy virtue. Perhaps one of the oldest and most respected professions is that of a jeweler. People have always chosen their jewelry with special care and always needed beautiful attributes. Even the most ancient ancestors of man processed stones using the simplest tools, turning them into masterpieces of that time and historical treasures that have survived to our times.
Among the valuable exhibits are beads made from the teeth of predatory animals, jewelry made from shells and stones. According to tradition, the most valuable and expensive jewelry was worn by the leader. It’s unlikely that these things can be called real art; rather, they are simply status items, as they would say now – image things. By the way, this practice is still widespread. A striking example is expensive watches, which are unlikely to serve as a source of accurate time, but rather demonstrate the status of their owner.
The birthplace of jewelry art As for jewelry art, this craft was born in Greece. It was on the shores of Ancient Hellas that they first learned to process stones and combine precious metals and gems. The masterpieces from Greece that have reached us leave an indelible impression. Pearls, amber and semi-precious stones were used as the main materials for jewelry. If the pearls weren't big enough, they worked like elegant embroidery for outerwear.
Centers of jewelry making in Russia But let's move from Greece to Kievan Rus, or rather to the Vladimir-Suzdal principality of the 9th century. It was in this territory that jewelry art received the greatest development over the course of three centuries. Already in the 18th and 19th centuries, the most popular centers of jewelry craft were Vologda and Kostroma, Moscow and Veliky Novgorod, Pskov and Yaroslavl, and, of course, St. Petersburg.
