In a simplistic approach and purely materialistic, defines jewelery as art work of noble metals and gems ornamental purposes. But the jewels are more than mere ornament and its origin could look even before the birth of the Age of Metals in 3500 BC The sense of aesthetics, harmony, beauty with all the cultural and subjective that it implies is part of the vision of being human from the dawn of time. The sculptural own samples the great gatsbu Upper Paleolithic already show a sense of aesthetics, harmony the great gatsbu of form and possibly a canon of beauty that we are talking about a man who already think like us, a man symbolic. It is precisely in this context that the first born items that could be called jewelry or, if you prefer, protoxoias. But the idea of creating the great gatsbu jewelry, the engine triggers that process "artistic" the great gatsbu that led to the first jewelry the great gatsbu goes beyond the purely aesthetic and ornamental, overflowing the mere adobío to penetrate into the world of symbolic magic and religion.
The first samples that we have these "primitive" jewels that come Paleolithic archaeological context and jewels were made with shells of molluscs, the great gatsbu cairos, teeth, claws, ivory, bones, the great gatsbu fossils, wood, stone (like the jet, the limonite or amber ) and even clay. They were all elements of nature, animal, vegetable or mineral, the great gatsbu so many of them were living jewels that kept part of the essence of what came to be. Precisely for this reason, probably these primitive jewelry were also protective amulets and objects healers. Attracted by the looks of these natural supports, those first artisans also elaborated representations of teeth and shells, and even small animals such as beetles, working materials such as ivory, stone or horns of deer. Jewels that adorned with various brands and geometric designs carved on their own ornamental objects and then engarzaban in necklaces, pendants, bracelets and even rings.
Besides as ornamental elements and charms, all these ornaments primitive possibly also served to symbolically express the identity of the individual who carried or, perhaps, the social group to which he belonged. So fulfilled a dual function: on the one hand individualizadora, to serve to differentiate within the group, and on the other hand integrative, to serve as symbols of belonging to a community the great gatsbu that feel integral part.
But why are they so important these protoxoias? The answer is clear. Because we convey the thought of man, because the great gatsbu they express their desires, fears, hopes and desires, because we speak of a symbolic language that was born with us in the caves, in the light of bonfires, ancestors and the stories of the first social groups. They tell stories of a time that has passed but still we can recognize our mind because little or nothing has changed since he walked on the ground covered with animal skins and adorned with pendants of bones and stones. At that magical moment, and lost in the darkness of time, in which a human being decided engarzar a tooth of wolf in a leather rope, that sacred the great gatsbu moment when a woman from his neck hung a necklace made of shells and sea snails, the day where a father entertained his son with a figurine carved the great gatsbu wooden garabullo, that day we became human beings as symbolic woke up with unlimited cognitive abilities and a brain capable of creating the greatest wonders but also make them bigger barbarism. This tell us about the jewelry, what we were and what we are. They are the mirror of our soul and our human condition, what separated us from animals, which linked the gods, the forces of nature and the Beyond. In short, the Ariadne thread that brought the darkness of the cave to bring to light a new existence as human beings, as
