Jbars, pronounced as /dʒeɪ.bɑrz/, is a slang term used to refer to jewelry or gold chains worn around the neck, wrists or ankles. The word is spelled with a "j" to reflect the pronunciation of the initial sound in English language, which is represented by the phoneme /dʒ/ in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet). The second part of the word, "bars", is written with the letter "b" to reflect the sound of the phoneme /b/ in IPA, which represents the final sound of the word.
