Whois & Analysis for soufeel.com

Jewellery or jewelry consists of 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 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.

The basic forms of jewellery vary between cultures but are often extremely long-lived; in European 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 cultures, are much less common.

Historically, the most widespread influence on jewellery in terms of design and style have come from Asia.

A ring is a round band, usually of metal, worn as an ornamental piece of jewellery around the finger, or sometimes the toe; it is the most common current meaning of the word "".

Strictly speaking a normal ring is a finger ring (which may be hyphenated); other types of rings worn as ornaments are earrings, bracelets for the wrist, armlets or arm rings, toe rings and torc or neck rings, but except perhaps for toe rings, the plain term "ring" is not normally used to refer to these.

A bracelet is an article of jewellery that is worn around the wrist.

It may have a function, such as holding a wristwatch or other items of jewellery such as religious symbols or charms.

Medical and identity information is marked on some bracelets, such as allergy bracelets, hospital patient-identification tags, and bracelet tags for newborn babies.

If a bracelet is a single, inflexible loop, it is often called a bangle.

When it is worn around the ankle it is called an ankle bracelet or anklet.

A boot bracelet is used to decorate boots.

Colloquially, handcuffs are sometimes called bracelets.

Bracelets can be manufactured from metal, leather, cloth, plastic or other materials and sometimes contain jewels, rocks, wood, shells, crystals, metal, or plastic hoops, pearls and many more materials.

A necklace is an article of jewellery which is worn around the neck.

Necklaces are frequently formed from a metal jewellery chain.

Others are woven or manufactured from cloth using string or twine.

Common features of necklaces include colorful stones (particularly gemstones or jewels), wood (usually carved or polished), art glass, feathers, shells, beads or corals - a hugely wide variety of other adornments have also been used.

If a necklace includes a primary hanging feature, it is called a pendant; if the pendant is itself a small container, it is called a locket.

The word pendant derives from the Latin word "pendere", and Old French word "pendre", both of which translate to "to hang down".

It comes in the form of a loose-hanging piece of jewellery, generally attached by a small loop to a necklace, which may be known as a "pendant necklace".

In some case though the separation between necklace and pendant is far clearer.
