Jewellery (or jewelry in American English) consists of 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.
Previously, the Kharanphool referred to the bejeweled round disc on the ear (the name itself meaning "flower for the ear"), and the jhumki referred to the bell shaped jewelry at the bottom of the piece. [1] The jhumka have maintained their status throughout history in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh as coveted earrings.
