Jewelry Making

 
jew·el·ry Spelled[joo-uh l-ree]–noun
 
1. articles of gold, silver, precious stones, etc., for personal adornment.  
2.any ornaments for personal adornment, as necklaces or cuff links, including those of base metals, glass, plastic, or the like.
 
 
 
Also, especially British jew·el·ler·y. ,
jewelry is a form of personal adornment, manifesting itself as necklaces, rings, brooches, earrings and bracelets. Jewellery may be made from any material, usually gemstones, precious metals or shells. Factors affecting the choice of materials include cultural differences and the availability of the materials. Jewellery may be appreciated because of its material properties, its patterns or for meaningful symbols. Jewellery differs from other items of personal adornment in that it besides looking appealing, it often has no other purpose. Items such as belts and handbags are considered to be accessories rather than jewellery.
The word jewellery is derived from the word jewel, which was Anglicised from the Old French "jouel" circa the 13th century.[1] Further tracing leads back to the Latin word "jocale", meaning plaything. Jewellery is one of the oldest forms of body adornment; recently-found 100,000 year-old beads made from Nassarius shells are thought to be the oldest known jewellery.
