Old ancient Khmer jewelry

in #history8 years ago

Hello Steemians,

I would like to introduce our old Khmer jewelry.

Because fashion is my passion, I combine myself with different accessories and in this way jewelry plays a big part in my life.
I love several jewels of this age or ancient jewels of ancient times in the Angkor period. The reason I find them very beautiful is the embellished structure engraved on the ring, earring, bracelet, necklace, belt, ankle strap and upper armband. The stones are used in a certain way so that they are properly seated. It looks beautiful and elegant! These jewelries are in the period of the 6th to 14th centuries.

As is happening today in Iraq and Syria, when the Cambodian civil war arose, there are people who organized
to plunder of Khmer ancient artifact or jewels. Fortunately, there are people who make sure that the old jewels return to our home country again. And i'm glad that we try to do our best to preserve it.
