All About NecklacesOther early examples of ornamented beads have been found in Egypt. These beads are indicative of an advanced art. Glass beads were highly colored and beads of pottery were glazed with blue and green. Although the twelfth dynasty produced a type of large, fine, round beads, it was the eighteenth dynasty where the beadwork reached its highest point of perfection. Due to the roman intervention, glass was used in the same principle as Millefiori glass.

History Of BraceletsThe earliest bracelets date back to around

2500 BC and were those worn by the Sumerians in southern Mesopotamia. Bracelets, necklaces, anklets, finger rings and ear rings made the women of Sumer into show windows of their husband's prosperity. Bracelets were found in the tombs of Ur where it was customary to bury royalty with their jewelry and unfortunately their poor servants. By about 2000 BC, in Ancient Egypt, bracelets emerged as major pieces of jewelry. Bracelets were found in the ruins from the Vesuvius eruption in Pompeii in 79 AD. It was during the age of the Egyptian Pharaohs that charm bracelets were first seen although charms themselves dated back as far as the Neolithic era when men would gather unusual bits of wood or pieces of stone which would be carried about their person in order to ward off their enemies. So these charms were considered ‘lucky charms’ and powerful protectors against evil.
