I think we can go a fair bit older than that.

The Imperial Regalia of Japan, if it still exists, is... really old. I can't find a date.

The anointing spoon of the British crown jewels dates from the 12th century, and is still used [2].

If we don't need something to be in continual use, then bronze age jewellery, or stone age flint knives.
