A finger ring is a circular band worn as a type of ornamental jewellery around a finger; it is the

most common current meaning of the word ring. Other types of metal bands worn as ornaments
are also called rings, such as arm rings and neck rings.

Rings are worn by both men and women and can be of any quality. Rings can be made of metal,
plastic, wood, bone, glass, gemstone and other materials. They may be set with a "stone" of some
sort, which is often a precious or semi-precious gemstone such as ruby, sapphire or emerald, but
can also be of almost any material.

Earrings are jewelry attached to the ear through a piercing in the earlobe or some other external part of
the ear (except in the case of clip earrings, which clip onto the lobe). Earrings are worn by both sexes. In
western cultures, earrings have traditionally been worn primarily by women, although in recent
decades, ear piercing has also become popular among men in North America, Europe, Asia and
Africa[citation needed].Earring components may be made of any number of materials, including metal, plastic,
glass, precious stones, beads, and other materials. Designs range from small loops and studs to large
plates and dangling items. The size is ultimately limited by the physical capacity of the earlobe to hold
the earring without tearing. However, heavy earrings worn over extended periods of time may lead to
stretching of the earlobe and the piercing.

A bracelet is an article of jewelry which is worn around the wrist. Bracelets can be manufactured from
leather, cloth, hemp, plastic or metal, and sometimes contain rocks, wood, and/or shells. Bracelets are
also used for medical and identification purposes, such as allergy bracelets and hospital patient-
identification tags.

A necklace is an article of jewellery which is worn around the neck. Necklaces are frequently formed
from a metal jewellery chain, often attached to a locket or pendant. Necklaces can also be manufactured
with cloth, and they sometimes contain rocks (particularly gems), wood, and/or shells with different
shapes and sizes.

A headband is a clothing accessory worn in the hair or around the forehead, usually to hold hair away
from the face or eyes. Headbands generally consist of a loop of elastic material or a horseshoe-shaped
piece of flexible plastic or metal. They come in assorted shapes and sizes and are used for both practical
and fashion purposes.
