word-request
What do you call the protruding backside of a car?
I am referring to the part behind the seats and the black cover of the car in this picture. Is there a particular name for it?

I believe you're talking about the trunk (American English). The back part where you put stuff in such as luggage.
Just a quick tip for next time, if you go on Google and select "images" and then write "Car parts names in English" you will see a bunch of car parts with names from ESL websites.
An anklet, also called ankle chain, ankle bracelet or ankle string, is
an ornament worn around the ankle.
Note that "ankle bracelet" in some contexts could be misconstrued as an ankle monitoring device used in law enforcement.
Also, please note that "bracelets" are worn around the wrists. It is clear and natural to say someone wore a bracelet on their arm, but most native speakers will take that to mean it is on that person's wrist. I think the object in your picture would be worn on the upper arm, and therefore is not a bracelet.
There is something called a "bangle". Here is Wikipedia on bangles, for convenience:
But yes, in some cases you would simply say "jewelry". (I suggest not calling it a "jewel") Leg-jewelry is little bit odd, so, personally, I would rearrange the phrase to say (He wore) "jewelry on his leg".
