It’s a pleasure to create your own jewelry, whether you want to use it yourself, give it as a gift to your friends or sell it in your own online store. When it started out in Jamaica in the 1960s, reggae music was considered a mix of different music styles, Jamaican Mento and contemporary Jamaican Ska music, along with American jazz and rhythm & blues. The earliest reggae lyrics spoke mostly of love, specifically romantic love. But as the music moved into the 1970s, reggae started taking on a heavy Rastafarian influence. Now the love being sung about was not just romantic love, spiritual love, the love of God, or “Jah”. Regarding jewelry, colors like green, yellow and red are fundamental and they stand for the Ethiopian flag.
