The usage of bejeweled to describe objects adorned with gems dates back several centuries, reflecting the human fascination with precious stones and the status they convey. Over time, being bejeweled evolved into a broader cultural term that encompasses artistic expressions in fashion and decor, signifying opulence and beauty.
