The birth of necklaces is believed to be as old as the Stone Age, which is around 40,000 years old. At that time, people used to decorate themselves with mollusk necklaces. Later, necklaces made of stones, bones, shells and animal teeth became popular. After the discovery of metals, gold, silver and a variety of other metals were used to make eye-catching necklaces for both men and women.[1] [edit] Types of necklaces The Maasai use necklaces as part of traditional attire Girl wearing a necklace Bib necklace A bib necklace is made multiple strands of stepped pearls.
