is for Jewelry. |
Personal adornment has served as an important indicator of social identity, community status, or wealth through time all over the world. This was true in the Ancestral Pueblo community of Aztec Ruins, too. Different styles of jewelry or ornaments made of different materials may have indicated ethnic, kinship or tribal affiliation, age, gender, offices held or a person's ideological beliefs. Just like today, jewelry and other personal adornments were intertwined with peoples' identities on multiple levels.
What's your favorite piece of jewelry or personal adornment, and why is it special to you?
