24 carat gold jewellery made 6,600 years ago unearthed

As gold jewellery goes, it could be considered to be quite modest, but a 6,600 year old pendant discovered at the site of one of Europe’s oldest prehistoric towns may be the world’s oldest bling.

The tiny two-gram pendant was discovered during excavations at the archaeological site of Solnitsata in the Varna region of Bulgaria.

 Archaeologists believe the area may have been part of an advanced prehistoric society that was among the first to work out how to process and produce gold goods.

A gold pendant discovered on the site of a prehistoric civilisation may have been made up to 6,600 years ago, making it one of the oldest pieces of gold jewellery ever discovered. The two gram piece of jewellery is made from 24 carat gold and may have been worn on a piece of cord

The necropolis at Solnitsata, which means ‘Salt Pit’, is situated just to the north of the Bulgarian city of Provadia.

It is famous for its two-storey houses and its heavily-walled fortress, thought to date back to about 4,300 BC.
