Body Ornaments

The word jewellery is derived from the root word "jewel", which was anglicised from the Old French "jouel" back in the 13th century. Further tracing leads back to the Latin word "jocale", that means plaything. Jewellery is one of the oldest forms of body adornment; recently found 100,000 year-old beads made from Nassarius shells are thought to be the oldest known jewellery.

Although during earlier times jewellery was created for practical uses such as wealth, storage & pinning clothes together, in recent times it has been used almost exclusively for decoration. The first pieces of jewellery were made from natural materials, such as bone, animal teeth, shell, wood & even carved stone. Jewellery was often made for people of high importance to show their status and, in many cases, they were buried with it.

In ancient times, jewelry was used to symbolize a people rank in the culture, group of persons or association to assign the people as spiritual choice. This custom was started thousands of years before in the UK.
