In Achaemenid graves, it is possible to determine if the jewellery contained within belonged to an adult female or a child by its size. The jewellery of the adult women included a wreath, as well as three pairs of boat-shaped earrings, two necklaces, two pendants, four finger rings, and a set of dress ornaments. Children's jewellery pieces usually consisted of only three pairs of earrings and a necklace.
