8. NECKLACES
 Archaeologists believed that the necklace was born during the
Stone Age about 40,000 years ago.
 April 2004, scientists were excavating a cave in South Africa. They
discovered forty-one mollusks that may have been strung as neck
jewelry about 75,000 years ago.
 Before this discovery, the oldest known necklace to have been
found about 30,000 B.C. are made mostly of shells, bones, stones,
animal teeth or claws and it is strung on a thread.

9.  Since then however, necklaces are very popular among all
the classes. It became the favorite gift for mothers,
friends and loved ones to express one’s feeling.
 They are precious not in gemstones or gold but in
sentiment and heart value.
 Necklaces are worn now for a variety of reasons not the
least of which personal adornment.
 Many people wear medals that are religiously significant.
It can be said that necklaces have been and will remain a
piece of jewelry that is completely versatile in its design
and the intent of the wearer.

10. BRACELETS
 The English word "bracelet" is derived from the Latin word
"brachium" which simply means "arm."
Early Bracelets - The wearing of jewelry for adornment and ritual may have
started as far back as 7,000 years ago and archeologists have found
evidence that people wore bracelets in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and
China.
Ancient Egypt - Egyptians were wearing bracelets made of gold and silver and
decorated with semi-precious stones. Skilled goldsmiths of the New Kingdom
(1558 to 1085 B.C.) crafted inlaid designs made of African gemstones.

11. Mediterranean
influences: The
ancient Greeks
wore cuffs on the
upper and lower
arm as decoration.
Greek soldiers used
wide leather and
metal cuffs as part
of their uniform
and for protection,
a practice later
adopted by Roman
soldiers.
Asian artistry: Intricate
cuffs and bangles carved
from jade existed in
China as early as 2000
B.C. The ancient Chinese
also valued gold bracelets
and etched elaborate
patterns of nature,
animals, and mythical
creatures into the gold.
Gold bangles were the
common bracelet style
found in India.

12. European revival: European women revived bracelets as common fashion accessories in the 17th
century. They wore ribbons and thin bangles -- often wearing several at a time. Bracelet chains became stylish
accessories, especially in the 19th century; the designs linked cameos and medallions decorated with ivory and
coral. Charm bracelets with dangling lockets and engraved charms became popular during the Victorian Era.

13. 20th century: During the 20th century, consumers could find bracelets of
almost any design imaginable. Bracelets also became more affordable as mass
production increased the availability of fashion jewelry. Men started wearing
bracelets again, usually choosing gold or sterling silver link chains.
21st century: Several lasting innovations in bracelet design occurred in the
last decade. Silver became the most common material for link bracelets, cuffs, and
bangles. This trend started in the 20th century when manufacturers mass-
produced silver jewelry, which was less expensive than gold but still had the
sparkle of a precious metal that buyers loved.
Finally, today's young people often wear simple bracelets to support social
causes and showcase group identity; their banner can be a colorful rubber band,
dangling charm, or even a piece of string.

14. RINGS
 Rings are noted everywhere in nature. The idea of a circle gives
out notions of eternity, with no beginning and no end.
 The symbolism of the ring later became a status symbol of
authority, wealth, and position-especially in the ancient Roman
world. This idea of the ring as a status symbol is derived from the
ring’s cosmetic qualities, which is seen in its value to some as an
adornment of the body.

15. The ancients had at least three uses for rings:
a. to distinguish status or conditions of quality;
b. betrothal or engagement rings, and
c. rings used as seals in business or other personal
transactions.
This means that the finger ring, at this time, became
ornamental rather than useful as a seal or signet.

16. BROOCH
 A brooch is a fashion decorative accessory that usually attaches to
clothes with a rotating pin clasp.
 Pins and brooches are traditionally worn on clothes such as
jackets, shirts, dresses, sweaters, and hats.
 In the older days’ brooches were used to hold clothing together.
Brooches come in different designs and are made from different
materials, including Swarovski crystals, feathers, plastic stones,
seashells, pearls, and pearl imitation. Bronze, copper, pewter,
steel, and silver are used to make brooches' base or be the only
ingredient in the brooch design.

17.  A fashion brooch with a
good design oftentimes
looks better than an
expensive gold and
diamond brooch.

18. HEADBAND
 A headband can be a functional or decorative hair
accessory and sometimes both.
 Predecessors of the headband in history include wreaths
and ribbons, and there have been many times when
people sought to either decorate the hair with a band
around the head or to keep it in place with a skillfully
placed band.
 There are numerous types of headbands to choose from
presently, and they are made in many different materials.

19. BELTS
 Belts can be a decorative or functional part of a wardrobe. While
most people have at least one garment that requires a belt to
hold it up, a decorative belt can be an important fashion detail on
a garment.
 Probably since prehistoric time, some type of belt was used to
keep clothing up.
 Egyptian belts represented wealth and royalty. They were gold,
beaded, or embroidered. In the middle ages, belts were worn to
connote social stature. Men wore wide, richly detailed belts to
hold their swords.

20.  Later an “aumônière”, or purse, was hung from the
belt. Silken or golden, jeweled cords which ended in
tassels were wrapped around men or women’s waists.

 In the fourteenth
century, silver bells
became a craze and were
hung from belts all
across Europe. Many
laws passed to forbid the
wearing of this kind of
belts.

21. EARRINGS
 Both sexes wear earrings in most countries, but in the West,
the practice is sometimes deemed effeminate for men.
 Earrings became almost obsolete for women during the
Middle Ages in Europe because they were overshadowed by
gigantic hats, towering wigs, and high collars.
 In the 16th and 17th centuries, however, lower necklines and
more subdued hairstyles brought earrings back in vogue,
allowing jewelers and talented craftsmen to sell gold
earrings to the upper classes, who could display their wealth
in the jewelry they wore.

22. Earrings Today
By the 1970s, some people were wearing more than one set
of earrings at a time, with multiple piercings, in all areas
of the outer ear, not just the lobes. Styles and materials
continued to multiply, reflecting the changes in cultural
attitudes of the latter years of the 20th century.
Gold earrings have remained a stable of
the woman’s jewelry box, because they’re
versatile and can be worn with almost any color
or clothing style, from casual to formal. Since
ancient times, gold jewelry has been considered
classic and essential to the wardrobe. Jewelers
continue to sell gold earrings as gifts, basics,
and special pieces.
