Please kindly note that I am roofreading Japanese link: https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=アンティーク・ジュエリー&oldid=56542424 (2015-8-17), based on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jewellery&oldid=674849557 (2015-08-06).

I guess the first translation into Japanese might be by https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jewellery&oldid=79764674 (2006-10-06), while no indication in the headline sofar. --Omotecho (talk) 19:10, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As Africa was missing from the continental overviews, I have just added this continent and placed the jewellery of the Berber countries in North Africa under Ancient Egypt. Obviously, there should be more African traditions of jewellery added, but I will have to leave this to more competent editors. Munfarid1 (talk) 17:16, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The "Masonic" section seems out of place, and I think it should be removed or combined with the "Modern" section. The Freemason's use of Jewelry should not be given the same weight as "Modern" use of Jewelry and "Body Modification." Dekadoka (talk) 23:32, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

... to Gallery of gold art and artefacts. I mean, just how many pictures of gold jewellery are appropriate for this article? --Smokefoot (talk) 17:11, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
