| Most people probably know the common names for types of jewelry in Chinese like earrings, necklace, ring etc. Perhaps you’re looking for more specific search terms for taobao, or are just a jewelry fan. The most common word for Jewelry in Chinese is 珠宝 zhūbǎo. 珠 means pearl or bead and 宝 means treasure, or precious. So, jewelry is literally “pearl treasure”. There is also another word for jewelry in Chinese which is 首饰 shǒushì. Here 首 means head and 饰 means decorations or ornaments, making the literal translation “head decorations”.  To start off with let’s have a look at different types of jewelry in Chinese. Ring – 戒指 jièzhi Engagement ring –订婚戒指 dìnghūn jièzhǐ Wedding ring – 结婚戒指 jiéhūn jièzhi You’ll see here that the word for ring includes the character for finger 指. To specify different kinds of rings, a description is added before just the same as it is in English. For instance, you can see that the word for married 结婚 is added before ring to make the word wedding ring. Necklace – 项链 xiàngliàn Bead necklace – 珠串项链 zhūchuàn xiàngliàn Pearl necklace – 珍珠项链 zhēnzhū xiàngliàn Similar to the word for ring, in the word for necklace we have the character 项 which here means “nape (of the neck)”. 链 is the word for chain, so literally it’s “nape chain”. Bracelet – 手链 shǒuliàn Bangle – 手镯 shǒuzhuó Anklet – 脚链 jiǎoliàn Charm bracelet – 串饰手链 chuànshì shǒuliàn You might begin to spot a pattern here, the word for bracelet includes the character 手 which means hand. Both 手链 shǒuliàn and 手镯 shǒuzhuó can be used for bracelet, however 手镯 refers more to bangle type bracelets. The word for charm in Chinese is either 串饰 chuànshì or 吊饰 diàoshì. This can refer to the charms on a bracelet or on a necklace. Earrings – 耳环 ěrhuán or 耳饰 ěrshì Stud earrings – 耳钉 ěrdīng Drop earrings – 耳坠 ěrzhuì Hoop earrings – 耳箍 ěrgū Nose ring – 鼻环 bíhuán Lip ring – 唇环 chúnhuán There are two translations for earring Chinese, 耳环 literally means “ear ring” and 耳饰 is literally “ear decoration”. If you add nose 鼻 or lip 唇 to ring 环 you have nose ring and lip ring, pretty easy right! In case you’re looking for a place to store all your jewelry, the word for jewelry box is 珠宝盒 zhūbǎo hé or 首饰盒 shǒushì hé. #Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language  # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟  Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
