 1. Identify the characteristic of each images based on their cultural background
Jewelries in our country's various Art Periods have distinct characteristics. Pre-colonial ornaments
based on their culture are more focused on symbolism and patterns, which vary depending on tribe group.
Furthermore, most of the jewels from that time period are rich solid gold jewels with a rough and hammered
texture. Spanish colonial jewelry was most likely used to spread Christianity at the time, with holy images or
symbols embedded in the jewels. In American Period, jewelry is most likely fashionable, with a focus on silver
rather than gold. Japanese jewelry is similar to American jewelry, but it is more artistic and free-form than
American period jewelry, and it incorporates silver and other materials. Contemporary jewelry designs
incorporate unique materials, fantastic colors, and dimension because it was heavily influenced by different
cultures.

2. Based on your observation, which among the jewelry is the most appreciated? Justify your answers.
Based on my observations, jewelry from the Pre-Colonial Period is the most appreciated of them all.
Most ornaments and jewelry from that time period were intricately crafted or built with bare hands. Also, the
delicate curves, shapes, symbols, and patterns in each piece of jewelry piqued my interest. For me, the labor
involved in creating a piece of jewelry is a sufficient reason to appreciate the finished product. Furthermore, I
prefer items that have been created with a great deal of effort.

3. Which among the jewelry is more valuable among the others?

The jewelry from the Pre-Colonial Period is also the most valuable to me. We all know that the older
the item or product, the larger it can be converted to pesos in our current timeline. Also, because it is from
the earlier ages and machineries were not developed at the time, we can say that the material used to make
jewelry at the time was pure gold or high karat gold, making them more valuable than others. Furthermore,
jewelries at the time were mostly created by our ancestors' creative minds, and while they were influenced
by other countries' designs, I believe this was the beginning of our mark as Filipinos and a part of our culture,
making it more valuable.

4. Which among the jewelry is the least appreciated? Why?

The jewelry from the Contemporary Period, in my opinion, is the least appreciated. I mostly judged it
based on its appearance; I appreciate the work of art, but it is insufficient for me. I believe it is too pale for
my eyes, and the materials used appear to be low-quality. Although it is more fashionable and artistic than
the others, this caught my attention less. Also, this is the least appreciated for me because those types and
styles are widely produced in our time and can be easily acquired and duplicated, unlike antique jewelries
from the earlier periods.
