Stonehenge Amulets Worn by Elite?

Forget dressing for success: Clothing ornaments thought to confer supernatural power were all the rage among chiefs and other important people in England 4,000 years ago, say scholars.

A recent find indicates some of these fashion trends might have originally been designed by Stonehenge leaders.

While working two months ago in South Lowestoft, Suffolk, British archaeologist Clare Good excavated a four-sided object made of the mineral jet. It closely matches a geometrically designed gold object found far away at a burial site called Bush Barrow near Stonehenge in Wiltshire.

I agree, the designs are vaguely alike, but there's a lot of differences and the basic elements of the designs are simple and common through different cultures and periods - the zigzag, concentric circles, linear borders. If you sat a dozen kids down all in separate rooms, gave them crayons and paper and asked them to draw patterns, chances are some of them would draw designs that were superficially similar to each other as these are.

So this is mystic "bling"? I guess some things never change. At least this had magical powers.
