In the data of Paleolithic and modern primitive tribes, it can be found that the early primitive body ornaments are mainly divided into necklace ornaments, waist ornaments, hip ornaments, wrist ornaments, headdresses and so on.
In the Paleolithic Age, more and more objects were used as jewelry. As far as archaeological discoveries in China are concerned, stones, bones, teeth, shellfish (mussels) and eggshells are all used as jewelry materials. At this time, most of the jewelry is still rough, but a small number of jewelry has been carefully processed, punched or painted.
After entering the Neolithic Age, mankind has accumulated more experience in production and life, and can process more kinds of materials and decorations with more shapes, and combine them in various ways. During this period, the materials and forms of jewelry were more abundant, and the act of decorating with various fine or coarse prices was very common in the aesthetic consciousness of many nationalities in the world.
When human beings step into civilized society, due to the improvement of productivity, the development of economy and society, and the progress of commercial civilization, jewelry art has also made great progress. Nowadays, jewelry has become an indispensable part of our lives.
