Islamic jewelry and accessories can be classified as being a rich amalgam that incorporates many different styles and elements from wide-varying sources. Early Islamic jewelry is a product of ancient, classical, Byzantine, and Sasanian traditions, not to mention many others that survived and helped form the Islamic aesthetic. Changes in Islamic jewelry came about from influence from outside cultures. Classic Jewelry Coming from Conquest and Innovation The Arab conquest of Iran accelerated the production and societal implementation of rings, pendants, earrings, and necklaces that other ancient cultures had also developed. Gold continued to be worn and a sign of affluence in ancient Islamic cultures. The Iranian people developed a rich tradition of animal art that persists to this day. Back then these depictions were modified to some degree according to the regulations of the canons of Islam, which in some respects made making images forbidden. A person of stature in the 12th-century Middle East might be seen sporting a gold pendant depicting the form of a lion it would have to be a specifically schematic rendering of the animal and decorated with a good amount of granulation. During the 14th century and moving forward, there are a significant amount of manuscript illustrations available to historians today that give a good idea about what kind of jewelry was worn by ancient Persians. During Mongol and Timurid reigns, jeweled coiffures were worn often by women. Men wore diademed headdresses, which were the utmost fashionable in court circles. Under afavid reign, Islamic jewelry started to become a little more elaborate and ostentatious. Traditional designs continue to persist in places like Znjanb as well as among the Kurdish mountaineers that occupy northwest Iran.
