I have a need to identify accessories that a person is wearing. Are there any pre defined libraries for this available at C# or can I use any C# object identification techniques? what are the tools available? Please advise.

You already know OpenCV. There are some .NET wrappers to this library you could use, such as OpenCVDotNet and Emgu CV:
http://www.emgu.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page[^],
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary[^],
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvnet[^],
https://code.google.com/p/opencvdotnet[^].

And this is the well-known native .NET library, AForge.NET:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AForge.NET[^],
http://www.aforgenet.com/[^].

And of course, there is a great distance between general computer vision libraries and such a tricky thing as identification "accessories that a person is wearing". I would start with trying to define what is that supposed to mean, in strict terms. :-)

By accessories what I mean is jewelry, bags and wrist watches

That's hardly is specific terms. Are you looking at full body, head to toe pictures? Are you using a picture of that item, such as in a catalog? What size are the pictures? Are you looking at identifying specific models of these items?

Come on. You've gotta get a LOT more specific. You may be trying to do something that isn't possible yet.

It could be something presently impossible. But jewelry sounds easier. From the very beginning, I feel the inquirer might be looking for some links to "accessory recognition software" (as many other try to do, something very application-specific and ready to use), but it would not be a productive approach.

Depends on the images he's talking about. If there's just a small blob of pixels, it's going to be impossible to determine for sure that there's a bracelet there, not to mention being able to determine if it's a bracelet or a watch.

Again, it comes down to him precisely defining the problem, which he hasn't done yet.

Right...

That's easier. It's all your work.
