African jewelry has been made for thousands of years. Artifacts dating back 75 000 years - that is a long time ago. Modern African jewellery is very though. Often driven by market forces such as tourism, it is sometimes not what you would expect. Buying African jewelry in tourist shops often means that you are being sold what African think you want - rather than what African like. Take for example African animal jewelry such as big 5 charm bracelets and African Animal charms - these would not exist without the tourist trade in South Africa and the rest of Africa. Game lodges have driven the demand for this type of African jewelry. African Symbols are used extensively in most form of African jewellery.
