The Middle Ages in Europe were called the Dark Ages, and religious culture greatly restricted people's thoughts and aesthetics. Jewelry and clothing were severely divided throughout the Middle Ages. Jewelry is divided into Christian jewelry and secular jewelry, and different materials are used to reflect the corresponding status level. For example, diamonds can only be worn by princes and nobles.
