Thousands of years ago, people adorned their bodies with shells, bones, feathers, pebbles, and other objects from nature. In time, people discovered metals and gems to use as personal decoration. Today, artisans use the same materials to craft stunning jewelry. In this volume, manageable text is paired with dynamic photographs and primary sources to show readers how jewelry, tools, and crafting processes have changed over the centuries. Readers will gain an appreciation for ancient jewelry-making skills that have stood the test of time.
