Before fine gold jewelry and pearl jewelry was designed and produced by preloaded software driven machines and computers, it was made by hand and was considered artistic wizardry. These artisans were acclaimed and recognized and their craft came to them from the lessons passed down from their forefathers.

At that time, modular jewelry design didn't exist in the realm of jewelry design. Gradually, graphic designers developed self-help tools that allowed them to select pre-packaged features for designing great looking jewelry. Although this significantly brought down the time required to design, the cost of jewelry remained high. This can be attributed to the fact that cost of materials used for jewelry did not come down. All that changed when semi precious jewelry gained popularity.
