Best Answer

The invention of jewelry pre-dates civilization and in fact probably dates back to before modern man. Jewelry, or adornment worn for the purpose of making the wearer more appealing, was probably developed by the Cro-Magnon man, before modern humans. Jewelry at this time may have been as simple as a leather thong holding an acorn, a rock, or a shell. Jewelry may actually have started when these early men started wearing tools on a leather thong and finally got the idea to exchange the tool for a decorative item like a shell.
