The earliest pieces of jewelry consisted of animal bones made into necklaces and other ornaments, but the ancient Egyptians first began the process of embellishing metals around 1333-1323 B.C. They commonly used gold and silver and inlaid these metals with semiprecious stones.

Upon the beginning of Greece's classic period, rings were extremely popular.
