forty miles away, this meant that the shells were carried back to the cave specifically for some purpose. They also contained traces of ochre, a pigment used by early humans to paint caves or color skin and clothes. Why do scientists think these shells were components of beaded jewelry? They all appear to be perforated in the same spot in the same way, prepped for being strung on a piece of leather and leaving a distinctive pattern on the shells. The researchers also noted the presence of ôfacets,ö or flat areas, unlike any youÆd find in nature, probably formed through being strung and rubbing against each other. ôBig deal,ö you may think? These shell necklaces and bracelets tell us a lot about our human ancestors. For instance, this jewelry is real evidence that early humans could use physical objects to stand for something abstract, such as beauty. The bead jewelry could have been used to serve a growing need among early people: a way people identified themselves or their status in a group, or maybe even for trading. We think that they mostly wanted to look and feel beautiful by wearing beads.

Among those gifts, he invariably included some large and shiny pieces of jewelry. That jewelry was undoubtedly made out of gold. It might have included bracelets, rings, chains and even a lovely, gold jewel case. That long-accepted gift, the gift of jewelry, has found favor with many generations, and it has become a popular gift in countries all over the world. Sometimes the gift of jewelry has been presented only to those who were considered worthy recipients. For example, a Girl Scout or Boy Scout pin would be given to a young person who had demonstrated the qualities of a Scout. Similarly, the large ring worn by American
