Rabbeinu Bahya

ונקרב את קרבן ה', “we have offered the sacrifice to the Lord.” This verse proves that when one vows to bring a sacrifice either in thought or word this already constitutes a sacrifice, i.e. that the money set aside with which to buy the animal is already sanctified (Yuma 63).
אצעדה, “anklet;” an ornament worn on the foot, the organ one makes steps with צעדים)
צמיד, “bracelet;” an ornament worn on the arm. We have encountered the word when Eliezer put two such bracelets on Rivkah’s hands (Genesis 24,22).
טבעת, “a ring;” for the finger;
עגיל, “a ring worn in the ear.”
וכומז, “a clasp;” something known as chastity belt in the middle ages, worn over the private parts.
