Styles and Types of Jewelry Unique to Regions and Specific Locations Around the World

Throughout the world various cultures have established styles or types of jewelry that are unique to their regions. These culturally unique designs arise from a combination of the background of the people in the area and what natural resources are available to them locally to make jewelry. Jewelry makers respond to the desires of the people as much as they can with what they have available to them.
