Silver jewellery was the most common, because only rich people could afford gold jewellery. The dowry of silver and gold jewellery was given by the groom to the bride, reflecting the financial status of the groom. The Jordanian economy relied on trades and crafts and new waves of people started to come to Jordan and began to settle for this purpose. This object is an example of how traditional fashion reflected the variegated population composition of Jordan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is also an example of local personal attire, fashion, costumes and rites.
