Camilla bracelets

During the pre-historic period, jewelry Camilla bracelets would be made from shells, animal-bones and clay. Later charms were made out of gems, rocks, and wood.For instance, there is evidence from Africa that shells were used for adornments around 75,000 years ago. In Germany intricately carved mammoth tusk charms have been found from around 30,000 years ago. In ancient Egypt charms were used for identification and as symbols of faith and luck. Camilla bracelets also served to identify an individual to the gods in the afterlife.During the Roman Empire, Christians would use tiny fish charms hidden in their clothing to identify themselves to other Christians. Jewish scholars of the same period would write tiny passages of Jewish law and put them in amulets round their necks to keep the law close to their heart at all times. Medieval knights wore charms for protection in battle. Camilla bracelets also were worn in the Dark Ages to denote family origin and religious and political convictions.
