So you looked it up in your 'Langenscheidt', great.

What 'Schmuck' really means in (Hoch) German is a 'Piece of Jewelery' to be more precise.

The synonym value is nothing specific to just German or Yiddish. In Japanese 'Tama' means diamonds, jewelery, or - colloquially - 'balls' (= testicles) or just plain parts.
