             Jewelry is an object of self-decoration such as a bracelet or brooch or necklace that is worn by or on a person. It may be made from gemstones or precious metals but may be from any other material, and may be appreciated because of patterns or symbols.

            Jewelry is amongst the earliest forms of body ornament. Arm and ankle bracelets are some of the first pieces of jewelry. Nowadays we can find a wide variety of jewelry.

            Modern women's jewelry is most often clip on earrings, claddagh rings, charm bracelets or bangle bracelets and they are generally stored in jewelry boxes.

            Men's jewelry such as money clips or pocket watches or wedding bands is generally less ornate and common in Western cultures. Either sex may wear rings of different types such as toe rings and purity rings.

            There are some special categories of jewelry that can be worn by a certain category of people, for example mother`s rings, Masonic rings, medical alert jewelry or college jewelry.
