1 thought on “What is the definition of jewelry”

  1. Jewelry can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Jewelry in the narrow sense only refers to jade products. Jewelry in the broad sense should include jewelry, handicrafts or other treasures made of gold, silver and natural materials (minerals, rocks, biology, etc.), which have certain value. Therefore, there was a saying of "gold and silver jewelry" in ancient times, which distinguished gold and silver from jewelry
    with the development of society and economy, in addition to natural gemstones and artificial gemstones, the concept of jewelry should be expanded to include gold, silver, jewelry, etc. The industry dealing in these articles is collectively called the "jewelry industry". The scope of "jewelry" is much larger than the concept of "gem" in a broad sense. Gemstones in a broad sense generally refer to those materials suitable for cutting or carving into jewelry or handicrafts
