History of Jamaican Jewerly

QUESTION: My daughter is doing a report for school on Jamaican jewelry. She found a necklace on line, and tried to make a necklace that looks like it, but she also needs to write a paper about it as well. We have found very little about jewelry making in general. Can anyone help?

ANSWER: by Devin, February 08, 2012

Jewelry and jewelry making dates back to our ancestral times when jewelry was worn to show rank and file of members of a tribe, as well as to protect against harm, ward of evil, and heal ailments, signal marriages and wealth, fasten articles of clothing together and for use as a spiritual and religious symbol.

The first jewelry was made from readily available natural materials including animal teeth, bone, various types of shells, carved stone and wood. The first glazed beads used for jewelry making were found in Egypt and date back to around 4500 B.C. The ancient Egyptians had access to gold and silver as well as precious gemstones.

Whether as a hobby or just wanting to show ones artistic side, or even to gain an income to supplement ones salary, there are step-by-step instructions available for everyone to learn this form of art.

At the click of the mouse, one can either download a site, join a tutorial view and become part of a site or read up on how to perfect this art form. Have fun learning and earning as you develop a new hobby or career.
