The first known pieces of jewelry are thought to be shell beads discovered in a cave in Morocco, dating back around 82,000 years. These beads are considered one of the earliest forms of personal adornment. Other ancient jewelry pieces include perforated sea shells found in Israel and Algeria, estimated to be around 100,000 years old, suggesting that early humans used natural materials to create decorative items.
