Introducing the History of Jewellery
Many people today argue that it's even older than the wheel.
Archaeologists found evidence of jewelry dates back to over a hundred million
decades. It's played a number of distinct roles in society, but not only as
adornment. Jewellery has also been a way of preserving wealth and it has also
been utilized as a product and as a pin to attach items of clothes. Jewellery
has been utilized in the transfer of products and was utilized in cultures
which used the barter system to trade.
Jewellery used to be an important aspect of showing status
and wealth within a society. It has also been used as a method of artistic
screen and also found a use in some religions and cultures to ward away evil
spirits. But despite the wide variety of unique uses jewellery is popularly
used as a form of decoration of the body and has been used to adorn all areas
of the human body.
There's a great deal of information on jewelry that has been
collated over many decades. Numerous archaeologists have devoted chunks of
their lives to researching jewelry and consequently there's a fantastic deal of
excellent information about the roles that it has played in the world and the
kinds of jewellery that have been around. The main reason for the interest in
jewelry is that it often gives an excellent insight into cultures and societies
at different times throughout history. Jewellery also has been preserved well and
is consequently very rewarding for archaeologists and historians as they can
often find complete illustrations of jewellery that was used before.
Jewellery is found that is as outdated as dinosaur bones.
They were found in Europe that were made out of the tusks of a woolly mammoth
in 1970s. Necklaces have also been discovered that are composed of teeth and
bone. Gold jewellery also have been dug up the date back seven million years.
Jewellery from early Egyptian times is anticipated to return around 5000 years
and in this period gold was treasured as a rare product and was a signal of
luxury. The reason why gold became so popular is it is relatively simple to
operate and consequently could be fashioned to desirable functions.
It has also been traced back to a Latin word
-"jocale" which means'plaything'.
Beads made from Nassarius shells have recently been found
which are 100,000 years old and are thought to be the oldest jewelry. In
ancient times jewellery was utilized not just to pin garments together but to
show your social standing and was frequently made for individuals who were
considered of utmost importance. Thankfully these days we decorate ourselves in
stunning jewelry for many reasons but . I'm passionate about the identity it
generates. As fashions change and people either comply or rebel into
the"standard" a lot are loath to follow styles (or on the flip side
reluctant not to) but jewelry has remained a very personal option. Although
jewellery styles change each year folks feel comfortable wearing their
sentimental parts of jewelry with pride regardless of the seasons.
