| The word jewellery or jewelry is derived from the word jewel, which was anglicised from the Old French "jouel" in around the 13th century. It goes all the back to the Latin word "jocale", meaning plaything. Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of body adornment; recently found 100,000 year-old Nassarius shells that were made into beads are thought to be the oldest known jewelry. | ||
