Even in the Stone Age, jewelry was worn. At that time, hunters wore pendants made from animal teeth, bones, beads or shells strung on leather straps. These pendants were not just for decoration. Often they were used as a talisman for a good harvest or hunting to be had. Over time, the possibilities of stone processing developed. Holes could be drilled at least and drawings could be engraved. The wear and the importance of the pendants were only changed when people had learned to work metal. Then man found gold.
Initially, gold was extracted from riverbeds in Egypt, Arabia, Ireland and Spain. During the second millennium BC, mining was developed by the Romans. In ancient times, jewelry was produced from thin gold leaf through cutting the leaves into decorative shapes. Plaster molds were in use already to fill them with liquid gold as well. During this time, the importance of the pendant then changed. In ancient times, people mostly wore white linen garments. Oh how one could spice up this boring white with colored pendants. The gold of the Sumerians, which was found in tombs, was already decorated with precious stones such as lapis lazuli or agate. They knew belt buckles as well as gold needles, which they used to hold garments together.
In a faith in the dead, pendants and amulets were very important. People of different cultures gave their dead jewelry on the way to the afterlife. In addition to food in pottery and weapons, jewelry was also given to them, preferably such that was liked very much and worn often in life already. But people thought that death is only a temporary interruption of life, not an end. In amulets, man found something he could hold on to that served to protect the wearer. Very versatile wishes were awarded to them. Today, pedants are of some importance. On occasions such as the baptism, first communion, confirmation, or first day of school, crosses made of gold are given as presents. Hearts made of silver, guardian angels, wedding rings and dainty baptism rings are worn on a chain. The shop windows are full of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry. They only need to be found by the right wearer.
