Jewellery

Jewellery consists of decorative items worn for personal adornment such as brooches, rings, necklaces, earrings, pendants, bracelets, and cufflinks. Jewellery may be attached to the body or the clothes. From a Western perspective, the term is restricted to durable ornaments, excluding flowers for example.

For many centuries, metals such as gold and silver, often combined with gemstones, have been the normal material for jewellery.
Other materials such as glass, shells, or wood may also be used.
