Brief history of religious jewelry

Each religion has a set of religious jewelry. So let’s learn some knowledge of religious jewelry history.
In ancient Egypt, jewelry was mostly symbolic. Human beings used a lot of gold chains, scarabs, serpents, eyes, and other animals to represent the gods and eternal life at times. During this period, we can see the religious jewelry rudiment. Egyptian religious jewelry usually sports motifs of the 'Eye of Horus'. The 'Scarab' - a good luck symbol and 'Ankh' - the symbol of eternal life can also be found on religious jewelry pieces from Egypt. Native American religious jewelry usually sports various elements of nature. At that time, almost every piece of jewelry was made of some kind of real precious stone and pure gold. When religious jewelry became far more popular, they were made with cheaper materials like silver and other metals.
