Ornaments are decorative items, which are generally used to beautify personal appearance, decorate rooms, beautify public environment and decorate cars. Therefore, jewelry can be divided into the following categories: home accessories, clothing accessories, car accessories and so on. With more and more people wearing jewelry, the jewelry wholesale industry is gradually emerging.

Jewelry industry is a new industry which is separated from jewelry and craft gift industry and formed comprehensively. With the development of economy and society, people began to pursue fashion and individuality while meeting the basic needs of life, which promoted the development of this new industry. There are more than 4,500 jewelry enterprises and business households in Guangdong, more than 8,800 in Yiwu and about 4,000 in Qingdao, and there are countless jewelry enterprises and business households scattered in other places. Guangdong, Yiwu and Qingdao are the three major gathering places of fashion accessories in China, forming a three-legged pattern, among which Yiwu was named "China Fashion Accessories Industry and Trade Capital" by China National Light Industry Federation. In the fashion jewelry industry chain, many places rely on their respective resource advantages to form related characteristic industries. For example, Wuzhou, the world's capital of artificial products, Zhuji, Zhejiang, the hometown of pearls in China, and Pujiang, Zhejiang, the capital of artificial crystals in China. These characteristic industrial bases are integrated with the three popular jewelry gathering places in China, basically forming the production pattern of China's jewelry industry.
