Jewellery has come a long way. Used to adorn or to denote status, as an example, jewellery helps telling the history of people and of civilization. Different cultures have used all sorts of materials to produce their jewellery. Bones, ostrich beads, gold, silver, stones, cooper, animal teeth, shell, wood and feathers. The first signs of jewellery were found in African civilizations. Here, a few pictures of people around the world and their adornments.
