Jewellery (British English) or jewelry (American English)[1] consists of
small decorative items worn for personal adornment, such as brooches, rings,
necklaces, earrings, pendants, bracelets, and cufflinks. Jewellery may be attached
to the body or the clothes. From a western perspective, 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 materials 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.[2] The basic forms of jewellery vary between cultures.
