The earliest known jewellery appeared in the Stone Age, when natural elements such as minerals were used to differentiate oneself from others, using everything from bones, shells, conch shells or stones<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n

Origin of International Women's Day<\/em><\/h2>\n

International Women's Day was declared by the United Nations in 1975. However, it was two years later when it was renamed International Women's Day and International Peace Day.<\/p>\n

Why 8 March?<\/strong> <\/a>In the midst of the Industrial Revolution, on 8 March 1857, thousands of textile workers demonstrated in New York City to protest the working conditions they were forced to endure. They demanded a reduction in working hours and an end to child labour.<\/p>\n

From then on, numerous demonstrations and movements took place in different countries, which served to set the date for the International Women's Day on 8 March.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
