So what is Jewellery...
First we should explain why there are several different spellings of the word Jewellery in English.
Jewellery is often spelt;
- Jewellery
- Jewelry
- Jewellry
- Jewelery
The official English spelling is Jewellery.
Historically the word comes from previous spellings;
- iuelrye
- iowalre
- juelerye
The word originates from the French joaillerie - as you can see this closely resembles
jewellery.
There are other words used in English to mean jewellery; bling is a relatively modern example.
Jewellery consists of ornamental items worn by people and jewellery is typically made with gems and precious metals. Costume jewellery is made from less valuable materials but jewellery can and is often made from almost every kind of material.
Jewellery is an adornment.
There are many kinds of jewellery, here is a list of the most popular kinds of

Your
Jewellery questions answered
One question we are often asked
is What is White Gold?
White gold is an alloy of gold mixed with white metals such as nickel,
silver, and platinum.
Like yellow gold, white gold is made in a range of carats: 18ct, 14ct, or
9ct.
Eighteen-carat white gold is 75% gold mixed with 25% white metals. New
white gold rings are usually coated with a hard protective finish of
rhodium, a silver-white metal like platinum. To keep a white gold ring
looking its best, Gillett's recommends an annual re-plating of rhodium,
because the coating wears off over time.
Platinum, is an entirely different element than gold and is a white metal
that is denser, heavier, and longer-wearing than gold. It's usually used
in almost pure form and does not require a protective coating. Platinum is
expensive, a platinum ring is usually twice the price of a similar ring
made in white gold.
There are variations of the alloy known as white gold: 9-carat white gold
consists of 3 parts gold to 5 parts silver, 18-carat is made with
palladium. Adding nickel to a white gold/silver alloy can produce good
color and hardness, but nickel is allergenic, and produces
skin reactions in approximately 20% of the population. More

The colour of gold jewellery
varies according to its carat, karat or gold content
 22ct Gold Ring
 18ct Gold Ring
 9ct Gold Ring
 White Gold Ring
The gold rings above show how the colour of gold jewellery varies according to
the amount of pure gold used. These colour variations tend to suit different
shades of skin colour. It is generally agreed that bright 22ct yellow gold works
well with darker skin tones and the more subtle 9ct and 18ct gold works well
with lighter skin tones.
