जेवर
jevar
PersianMeaning
Jewelry or ornaments, especially gold and precious items. Borrowed from Persian 'zewar' (زیور), meaning adornments. In wedding contexts, jewelry is a highly significant marker of wealth and family honor, making the sisters' clarification — 'we only took the shoes, not the jewelry' — a humorous deflection of any accusation of wrongdoing.
