Jewellery

 

Jewellery is a decorative ornament that is designed to be worn. Some typical examples of jewelry are earrings, necklaces and brooches although these are just a few obvious instances and innumerable different types of jewelry are made for almost every body part.

People have worn jewelry since ancient times in practically every culture and its popularity has not waned, although styles and types of jewelry have certainly changed over the years. Jewellery is worn by men and women, although some pieces of jewelry are distinctively more masculine or more feminine than others.

Jewelry is often made from expensive or rare materials and can be considered and an outward display of wealth therefore pieces of jewelry are often made from materials such as gold or silver and will often incorporate precious stones, diamonds for examples.

Despite this, jewelry need not be expensive and simple more inexpensive pieces are widely available, in fact many people would consider wearing an excessive amount of expensive jewelry to be unnecessarily extravagant and in poor taste.

Some items of jewelry may be worn for reasons other than fashion, for example many christians will wear a cross on a pendant around their neck to show their faith, or perhaps a person may wear a particular piece of jewelry as it may have sentimental value to them.
