Fashion Jewelery
Jewellery is small decorative items worn for personal adornment, such as brooches, rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
Jewellery may be attached to the body or the clothes, and the term is
restricted to durable ornaments, excluding flowers for example. For many
centuries metal, often combined with gemstones,
has been the normal material for jewellery, but other materials such as
shells and other plant meterials may be used. It is one of the oldest
type of archaeological artefact – with 100,000-year-old beads made from Nassarius shells thought to be the oldest known jewellery.
The basic forms of jewellery vary between cultures but are often
extremely long-lived; in Western cultures the most common forms of
jewellery listed above have persisted since ancient times, while other
forms such as adornments for the nose or ankle, important in other
cultues, are much less common.
