Gold jewellery has been produced by man since the early Bronze Age.

Promoting and developing the business is crucial for success as a self-employed jewellery designer. Engraved and embossed silver bowls made by Phoenicians have been found in Greece. Gold is a globally traded product, like a currency, and refiners, manufacturers and retailers buy gold for jewellery from the international market, often from refineries or banks. Many designers try to boost their reputation by networking, entering competitions and attending fairs. These are red, blue and yellow.

In theory, you can make any color from these three primaries (except white, which is really an absence of color). This language was significantly used by the ancient Egyptian royals and by the priest class as well. Most of them have elaborate pictorial designs of Egyptian or Assyrian character and therefore probably foreign to Greece. Other activities include consulting with galleries, store buyers and suppliers and researching jewellery and fashion trends.

The secondary colors are the colors you get from mixing equal amounts of any two primaries. Increasingly, it is being made by mass production methods using modern machines and equipment in jewellery factories, where the traditional manual craft skills are no longer necessary. In practice, it depends on what red, blue or yellow you start with, but we are not mixing paints here, so just remember that the primary colors are red, blue and yellow.

In old Egyptian the power was information and to store that information the secret codes were used which were hieroglyphics. However some simpler types, decorated with rows of animals and flowers,can hardly be distinguished from the first Hellenic products.
