Jewelry, as a distinct type of item, was added in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage. In The Sims, some head and body skins were made so it would appear that a Sim was wearing jewelry, but it was not separate from the Sim's head or body. Some clothing for The Sims 2 was made in this was as well.

While The Sims 2 did not include jewelry prior to Bon Voyage, it did make glasses separate from Sims' heads. This allowed custom content creators to make earrings, necklaces, and other accessories that were categorized as glasses. Accessories such as bracelets and bags are also possible, but the display will remain focused on the Sim's head regardless of where the accessory is to be placed. These acceesories are available in Step 4 of Create a Sim and when using a mirror's Change Appearance option. Later expansion packs recognized this by using "Head Accessories" in Change Appearance, though they still used "Glasses" in CAS. These accessories can usually be "layered"; making a selection will usually not affect other selections that have been applied to different parts of the Sim's head or body. Accessories made in this way are associated with various outfits by internal flags; the player cannot change this in-game, but these flags can be edited in SimPE.

Bon Voyage added jewelry as a separate category in CAS, and as something that could be bought in stores or found on beaches. Once a piece of jewelry has been bought, found, or assigned in CAS, it can be put on or taken off with the Change Appearance option. The player can assign jewelry for all outfits, or each outfit can have its own jewelry. Bon Voyage added the SparkleMaster Jewelry Rack to allow Sims to buy jewelry on community lots. What type of selection it has depends on where it is placed. Placed in a vacation destination, it will offer a selection of local jewelry in addition to the selection that is available on all community lots. The rack was carried forward into FreeTime and Apartment Life, but it appears that most of the selection which was provided with Bon Voyage was not.[confirmation needed]
