Jewelry, often spelled as "jewellery," is a category of decorative accessories that are worn to adorn the body and enhance personal style. It encompasses a wide range of items crafted from precious metals, gemstones, and other materials. Jewelry holds significant cultural, symbolic, and aesthetic value and is often associated with special occasions, personal expression, and status.
The most common types of jewelry include necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, and brooches. These pieces are typically made from materials such as gold, silver, platinum, and precious gemstones like diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. However, jewelry can also be crafted from alternative materials like stainless steel, titanium, beads, glass, or even organic substances like wood and shells.
