created solely to inspire others and show you all that jewelry is a staple piece to have in your daily wardrobe. I choose all the pieces myself and make sure to provide the highest quality pieces that are made for everyone. I wanted to also ensure that we have a wide range of pieces that are made to layer and stack to complete any look.

As I continue this journey I hope that I can also inspire many of you and show you that if I can do it , you can too! Being a Latina owned business , I want to be the best for you guys and always show you that no one can stop you!

A lot goes into Bior Jems but it makes me so happy to know I have support of my family and customers. It makes me feel like I’m doing exactly what I need to be doing in my life. Thank you for following this journey of mine & I’m excited for all of you to be on it with me !

The history of women’s jewelry is a long and fascinating story that includes: 
  • Prehistoric times

    Jewelry was made from materials like bones, teeth, berries, and stones, and was often hung on string or animal tendons. 

  • Ancient Egypt

    Gold was the preferred metal for jewelry, and was worn as a status symbol. Egyptians were often buried with their gold jewelry. 

  • Ancient Greece

    Beads were very popular, and were often designed to look like flowers, beetles, or shells. 

  • Ancient Italy

    Hallow pendants were very popular, and were often filled with perfume. 

  • The Renaissance

    Vibrant colored gems were used on religious figures, and jewelry became more widespread. 

  • The Roman Republic and Empire

    The most common types of jewelry were necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets. Gold was the most expensive metal, and gemstones like pearls, emeralds, rubies, and diamonds were also in high demand. 

  • The Georgian and Victorian periods

    Cameos were very popular, and were often carved from hardstones like agate, onyx, sardonyx, and jasper. 

  • The Aesthetic Period (1885-1901)

    Lace pins, bar brooches, and delicate pendant necklaces were popular, and were often decorated with shamrocks, stars, knots, and hearts. 

  • The women’s suffrage era
    Jewelry was used to symbolize empowerment and unite women. British activist and feminist Millicent Fawcett was presented with a brooch in 1913 by the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies.
