Enum: AccessoriesMaterialEnum

Primary construction material of a fashion or personal accessory. Records the dominant material the sorter can identify quickly. Not all accessories have a single primary material — a watch has a metal case, leather strap, and glass face; record the most prominent element.

Grounded in Product Types Ontology (pto:) for individual fibres and common materials, and schema:material as the overarching property anchor. Values and grounding are aligned with ClothingMaterialEnum (clothing.yaml) for the fibre values (leather, wool, cotton, silk) for consistency.

Two redistribution-relevant uses:

Allergen filtering — wool (scarves, hats, gloves) and nickel

(base metal jewellery, belt buckles) sensitivities.
Care requirement matching — leather requires conditioning; silk

is dry-clean only; metal jewellery requires anti-tarnish storage.
