Alhaja, Arabian word which means a necessary or worthy thing
Anyway, in Spain "joya" is a more common word than "alhaja" |

I was wondering about that. In the Rosetta Stone for LATIN AMERICAN Spanish, they also use "joya" for jewelry. How about those of you from Latin American countries. Which word is more common?
