The use of jewelry as body adornment spans cross-culturally around the world, taking on many different forms and meanings. For our project, each member has provided an in-depth analysis on jewelry found in one of four different locations:

 

Mesoamerica

Mongolian Jewelry and Adornment by Devon Midori Hale

India

Ancient Egypt

 

In these, we will present our individual research and interpretations on several recurring themes, such as the use of jewelry in particular ceremonies, jewelry as a means of defining social status, economically valuable or invaluable materials, and the importance of color symbolism. Traditions and beliefs may vary among cultures, but each one addresses these concepts and has a unique method of creating jewelry and as well as utilizing its symbolic power.
