ORNAMENT
An ornament is an item of adornment, such as jewelry, decorated clothing, or priestly attire. Scripture warns against prideful reliance on outward beauty while emphasizing holiness and inward character as the greater adornment.
Biblical Usage
Scripture records both the use of ornaments and prophetic rebukes of extravagant adornment. It places greater value on inward holiness than on outward jewelry or clothing. Ornaments were also laid aside in mourning, while attractive attire is shown receiving sanction in a divine example.
