What jewelry is used in Shakespeare's plays?

Rings are important in many Shakespeare plays. In Merchant of Venice, Bassanio and Graziano promise their wives never to take off their wedding rings then promptly give them to Antonio's lawyer and his clerk, who happen to be their wives. A similar pledge ring is given and abused in The Two Gentlemen of Verona and also in All's Well that Ends Well, where Bertram gives his ring away to Diana, thus enabling Helena to get it.In another Verona play, Juliet gives a ring to Romeo.

In Twelfth Night, Olivia sends a ring to Viola (disguised as Cesario), pretending that Viola lost it and it is being returned. In Merchant of Venice Jessica, along with her good-for-nothing husband Lorenzo, not only steal her father's turquoise wedding ring, but then on a whim trade it for a monkey.In Cymbeline, Postumus bets his wedding ring that Iachimo can't seduce Postumus' wife Imogen In Comedy of Errors, Antipholus of Ephesus orders a gold chain which is then delivered to his twin brother.
