Women did it as a sign of elegance. So they could litterally be wearing their wealth. Think of it today with people like p-diddy wearing diamonds on his watch and belts.
Just another way to make yourself look more impressive.

Your best bet to see this is probably with modern day wedding dresses.
The jewels were put into settings or in the case of pearls you can drill a hole into them like a bead and were then sewn onto clothing.
For example, this dress has pearls - - -
