The use of jewellery for both men and women goes back thousands of years.
Archaeological excavations show us that people were wearing some forms of primitive jewellery before people lived in houses.
It's a form of human expression, of wealth, personality, wanting to cheer yourself up, an artform all sorts of reasons why people wear jewellery and as old as time.
In what they call the Bronze Age about 2000BC in the area not far from Stonehenge some of the most beautiful gold work in Europe was found in graves. These were mens graves! The men had been buried with their jewellery including earrings.
The biggest piece of goldwork ever found in Britain was the Gold Cape found in Mold, North Wales and that belonged to a man.
So perhaps the question should be why do people like wearing jewellery?!

I am a huge fan of jewelry. It makes your outfit complete. I wear earrings everyday. If I'm wearing short sleeves I wear a bracelet. Most of the times I wear a necklace. I sell Avon and love their jewelry since the have sets wear it all matches. It seems to be heredity since my grandma always wore jewelry
