The first known pieces of jewelry date back to around 100,000 years ago and were made from Nassarius sea snail shells, which were perforated and likely used as beads. These early adornments were discovered at sites in Israel and Morocco, indicating that the practice of creating and wearing jewelry was a part of human culture even in prehistoric times. These simple shell beads are considered the earliest evidence of humans using jewelry for decorative or symbolic purposes.
