These days we barely talk about death, it's interesting to see how much it was a part of peoples lives back then, and how they celebrated the lives of loved ones after they'd passed on.

But after reading this article, I am truly converted in how i view collectors. Its interesting to see how much sentimental value each piece has and the history behind them. Jewelery back then had so much more meaning than now where people purchase it just to show off their wealth. Bring back the old days I say!

When did bears start wearing jewelry? (Tip: spell-check is not the same as knowing the right word.) “A lot of people think it’s morbid and maybe grizzly, but it’s not.”
