When using the term jewel, it refers to something that has a lot of value. Formally, the word jewel designates all those pieces as accessories that are used in order to decorate the body, such as: necklaces, bracelets, bracelets, earrings, rings, buckles, etc. When these objects are said to be jewels, they are automatically given a much more refined character, since this term is used almost exclusively for pieces made with precious stones, such as gold, silveror failing that, they are made with very delicate and expensive work. In this way, the jewels differ from what is commonly defined as costume jewelery (the same pieces or decorative objects but in this case they are made with less noble materials and consequently much more accessible).
A jewel can be represented by using different forms: such is the case of bracelets, necklaces, rings, necklaces, earrings, rings, brooches, among many others. For their part, those in charge of making them are a jewelry craftsman and for this they preferably use noble metals, among which gold and silver stand out, as well as precious or semi-precious stones such as ruby, emerald, diamond, aquamarine, quartz, etc. Both metals and gems are characterized by being elements that are not very frequent in nature.and therefore they turn out to be very striking in the eyes of people. This uniqueness of the materials used to make jewelry explains the reason for the high value of some pieces of jewelry, which can sometimes cost large sums of money.
The human being has almost always been attracted to decorate his body and be as attractive as possible. To do this, it has been making jewelry for thousands of years. Its main function is to increase the beauty of the body. However, this factor is not the only one, since jewels have a secondary function, so to speak: to communicate economic and social power to other people, since for example a woman who wears a gold ring with a diamond in her hand You are adorning your body but above all, you are giving a signal of your social status, your purchasing power and ultimately, you are sending a message to others about your economic situation.
