A necklace is a kind of jewelry, which is worn around the neck. Necklaces are normally formed from a metal jewelry chain, often joined to a pendant or locket. Necklaces may also be contrived with cloth, and they sometimes contain wood, rocks and shells with different sizes and shapes.
Necklaces have been an essential component of jewelry since the time of prehistoric civilizations. The birth of necklaces is whispered to be as old as the Stone Age, which is about 40,000 years old. At that time, folks had been decorating themselves with mollusk necklaces. Afterward, necklaces made of bones, stones, shells and animal teeth became famous. After the discovery of metals, silver, gold and a variety of other metals had been used to make striking necklaces for women.
