From http://everythingjudaica.com/mezuzah.php

A Mezuzah may also be a piece of jewelry worn around one's neck.

Mezuzah literally means doorpost but normally refers to the case which holds the parchment and is then affixed to the doorpost of the house.

On the parchment, which is called a klaf, is written the words from the Shema.
Mezuzah klaf are handscribed on parchment and should be checked twice every seven years and repaired or replaced if you can no longer read every character, similar to a Torah.

The parchment is rolled from the end to the beginning so that the word Shema is on top.

It is then placed in the mezuzah case. The mezuzah should be affixed to the upper third of the right-hand doorpost (as you enter) but no less than one handbreadth (the width of your hand) from the top. It should be tilted with the top facing inward towards the home's entrance.
