First sentence: PERSONAL ornaments and jewels may be classified as useful or purely decorative; in the first class fall pins, brooches, buckles, and other jewels which, however ornamental, are yet practical in origin, and in the second necklaces, pendants, bracelets, and the majority of rings, which perform no useful function.
