Schmuck means jewelry, in this context. It can mean decoration, eg. at Christmas, but primarily jewelry. Putz means decoration, accessories, also jewelry, stuff like that - imagine a rococo lady. She wears Putz. I only wear Schmuck.
I knew schmuck was a yiddish expression, and thought my deal about it but I did not know what it was referring to exactly.
hehe - there's also the "family jewels" - perhaps it has something to do with that. Makes sense anyway.

It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

My husband can be a schmuck sometimes. Does that mean I am calling him a jewel?
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

I have a charm bracelet and have been collecting charms for years. Have found several bicycle charms just by perusing Nordstroms, Macy's etc. Just keep looking in the regular department stores.

My avatar came from a jewelry site - but I can't remember which one. I'll do a little search and see if i can find it again.

My boyfriend made me earrings and then a bracelet from bike parts. They are the best. The bracelet is made from Campy C10 chain links and spoke nipples. Do you want to put your order in?
