Vintage Jewelry – Highly Collectable and the Current Rage – Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010The history of jewelry – Throughout time – man (and woman) has sought to make themselves stand out from the crowd. Even animals will preen and parade around in a mating ritual. It is a natural occurrence for both man and beast.
Early man decorated himself with whatever available – sometimes seashells on a string, fish bones or even animal claws. The documented examples of “jewelry” can be dated back to around 20,000 BC. Man used whatever might make him stand out. We are not much different – only our available ornaments are much better and more diverse.
