sexes wore them of gold or beads, generally with a large drop or figure in
the centre, and strung of the various religious emblems; amethysts, pearl=

infinite variety of devices. (See Wilkinson's

necklaces is given under Crotalium. The BRITISH women of the earliest ages wore
necklaces of jet, ivory, and amber, beads, shells, &c., besides gold

ladies do not appear to have worn necklaces, and no mediaeval examples are
found earlier than the 15th century. (See Figs. 303, 304, 483.)
