Jewelry
The Indian subcontinent has the longest continuous legacy of jewelry-making, with a history of over 5,000 years. One of the first to start jewelry-making were the peoples of the Indus Valley Civilization. Early jewelry making in China started around the same period, but it became widespread with the spread of Buddhism around 2,000 years ago.

Famous quotes containing the word jewelry:
“The demonstrations are always early in the morning, at six o’clock. It’s wonderful, because I’m not doing anything at six anyway, so why not demonstrate?... When you’ve written to your president, to your congressman, to your senator and nothing, nothing has come of it, you take to the streets.”
—Erica Bouza, U.S. jewelry designer and social activist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 7, by Studs Terkel (1988)
