When it comes to beautiful jewelries, perhaps Africa is best known for its ‘handmade’ beautiful bead work. African beads are exquisite works of art.
Most importantly, they served as adornment because it helps in defining and identifying someone’s status, as well as what tribe or group they belonged to.. The oldest known beads have been found in the Kalahari Desert, Sudan and Libya. The oldest African jewelry ever discovered was recently found, in 2004, in the Blombos cave on the southern tip of South Africa. They are estimated at being over 75 000 years old and are pea-sized, mollusc shell beads that had been pierced.
