What is NOT considered "jewelry"?

A Manila lines
B Shackles
C Steamboat ratchets
D Buttons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Buttons. Buttons are not considered "jewelry" for the purposes of US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. Jewelry refers to decorative items like rings, necklaces, and bracelets that are worn for personal adornment. Buttons, on the other hand, are functional items used to fasten clothing and are not considered jewelry. The other options (A, B, C) are all types of maritime equipment and fittings, not jewelry, and would not be accepted as the correct answer.
