Description
Since times immemorial men and women have used beads and jewellery to adorn themselves and to express social standing as well as religious beliefs. In all cultures beads and jewellery were not only traded but kept as movable assets especially in times of conflict when people had to flee their homes to find safety elsewhere. Amber, a yellow translucent fossil resin, may have been the earliest gemlike material to be used in jewellery. Amber pendants from the Magdalenian culture (15,000-10,000 B.C.) in France and Spain have been discovered. In Cyprus a stone and shell necklace from the 7th millennium B.C. was discovered at Khoirokitia. This now in the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia.
