Antique African Jewellery Collection: Rediscovering the Rich Legacy of Africans

Africa also known as the Dark Continent perhaps witnessed the first of humancivilizations. As such, the continent also has a rich legacy of jewellery craftsmanship which dates back to the ancient Egyptian civilization, although jewelleries were used much before that. Ancient Africans were mainly fond of bracelets, necklaces, brooches, earrings, and pendants. Gold, copper, silver, and brass were the most popular metals used. Additionally, animal bones, clay, and glasses were also used in making ornaments. It is now possible to add a hue of African jewelry in your fashion with modern jewellery designers reproducing some of these historic items including antique brooches.

A lover of African jewelleries may also go online looking for such antique collections. In fact, the cyber world also hosts one of the most extensive and authentic collections of such jewelleries. Some of the portals also offer attractive discounts and other special offers on antique jewelleries.
