Gemstone Metaphysical Properties and More ~ Siempre Amor Jewelry

Below is a partial list of gemstones, minerals and metals used in Siempre Amor Jewelry. OLDEST KNOW JEWELRY TO DATE? In late 2013 a professor who’s incharge of the Neanderthal Collection deriving from the site of Krapina, Croatia, took a fresh look at some eagle talons found among the items. She noticed numerous cut marks on the talons and realized that they must have been used as jewelry. An international team that was later assembled had confirmed professor Radovcic’s theory in the early 2015, changing our perception of the Neanderthals. Previously regarded as savage brutes, they are now shown to have had a form of symbolic thinking in their lives. Also, it indicates that the need for ornaments predates the modern men, since the pieces were dated to have been made 135,000 years ago. In June 2006, Archaeologists have dated drilled snail shells, from the site of Skhul in Israel, as at least 100,000 years old. This makes them the oldest known items of personal adornment, beating the previous record-holder, a set of similar shell beads found in South Africa's Blombos Cave, by almost 25,000 years.
