Probably it will be difficult to find a woman absolutely indifferent to jewelry. From the immemorial time women decorated themselves, applying improvised materials in a raw, primitive kind - bones, stones, skin and teeth of animals, plants, cockleshells etc. With the lapse of time the list of materials for making ornaments extended, manufacturing techniques of ornaments became complicated, appeared certain technicians, styles and schools. The first push to jewelry development was given by discovery of gold - it became at once favorite material for jewelry manufacturing because of the durability, beauty and simplicity of processing. Approximately during the same time the modern majority of minerals and the stones began to be applied. They were used widely not only in sphere of jewelry, but also in dressing, the weapon, house utensils and tableware.
