Bronze &
Copper Jewellery HISTORY: Bronze, a metal alloy, was developed by the ancient Sumerians as early as 3500BC- early Bronze Age (c. 3500-2000BC) in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley. This is often considered the Earliest Civilisation and working with Bronze one of the earliest forms of jewellery and craft. Bronze was used to make a range of things including coins and jewellery in China also around 2000BC. The other Ancient Civilisation - Ancient Egypt used Bronze extensively. Bronze Jewellery is still prized today as a wonderful metal to work with as it reproduces every detail of the most delicately intricate pieces of jewellery.
