The history of jewelry is one of those things you can't really understand fully because it's just that old. Who's to say when the first person in the world saw a particularly beautiful shell or rock and attached it to some kind of rope or leather cord and wore it around their neck or in their hair? But you can definitely see how we've progressed over the years and mastered some much more exotic and sophisticated methods of producing it. Just imagine our ancestors 5,000 years ago trying to shape a diamond to fit into a tungsten ring.
Some of the earliest examples of jewelry anyone's managed to find has been dated to about 25,000 years ago. That's pretty staggering. The piece in question was a necklace made from the bones of a fish and it was discovered in a cave in Monaco. Who wore it and why has been lost to history, but it shows that, as a species, we've always loved the idea of making things with which to adorn ourselves. It's clearly a proud, ancient craft. So let's see how much you know about the tools of the trade. Take the quiz and see!
