the origin of the necklace


A necklace is a chain-shaped piece of jewelry that is hung around the neck by supporting gold, silver, and jewelry. It is one of the ornaments of the human body. You should see the necklace more often. But do you know the origin of the necklace? Let me share two thoughts with you.

 

One idea is that the necklace originated during the transition from matriarchal to patrilineal in primitive society. At that time, men were already dominant in the economy, and women were gradually transformed into men's vassals. In clan or tribal warfare, female prisoners of war were often bound by a chain or rope around their necks and hands to prevent them from escaping. Later, it gradually evolved into some local customs, in the formal marriage of men and women, to "rob" the way of the woman to the man's place, and then with metal ornaments on the woman's neck or hand, to show bondage. Today, these chains have evolved into necklaces and bracelets to prevent women from running away.

 

Another thought is that necklaces were originally worn to show strength and bravery. Archaeological findings show that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the "cave man" in Beijing Zhoukoudian used animal bones, teeth, shells and other string ornaments, and dyed red with dye. It is speculated that people found that losing blood is equal to losing life in a fight with a fierce animal, and the teeth and claws of a fierce animal are very powerful. People wear strings to show their bravery and strength; Secondly, we hope to absorb all the strength and vitality of the beast. It gradually evolved into a necklace.

 

So this is the legend of where the necklace came from.If you like to wear jewelry, I recommend Jewerlykg, a wholesale jewelry store where you can get quality products at low prices.
