Rocks and metal we agree are priceless, then insure for exactly their resale value.

means Decorative items made from precious metals, gemstones, or other materials, worn on the body for adornment.

from From Old French 'jouel' (a small ornamental object), tracing back to Latin 'jocale' — related to 'jocus,' meaning joke or plaything. So the word's deep root is something like 'plaything' or 'trinket' — a humble ancestry for objects now kept in bank vaults.
