In most cultures jewelery can be understood as a status symbol, for its material properties,its patterns,or for meaningful symbols.Jewelery has been made to adorn nearly every body part, from hairpins to toe rings, and even genital jewelery.The patterns of wearing jewelery between the sexes,and by children and older people can vary greatly between cultures, but adult women have been the most consistent wearers of jewelery; The word jewelery itself is derived from the word jewel, which was gotten from the Old French"jouel".
Jewelry is indeed the little extra, the final touch to bring to an outfit for a 100% successful trendy look. In trade, the choice of accessories is so broad that the options to match jewelry and clothes are innumerable Most cultures at some point have had a practice of keeping large amounts of wealth stored in the form of jewelery
