jewelry that has a mechanism


Explanation:
Working parts refers to any mechanical works, such as the mechanism that runs a watch. It also refers to hinges, clasps. A locket necklace (one that opens to reveal a picture) would be such an example.

Parts that require special attention


Explanation:
Parts that might fade away in color or rusted via constant exposure to the air (due to oxygenation or whatever) -- I am guessing based on the word "air tight container".
