Silver Bubbles

Silver Bubbles

　　Silver Bubbles are a unique shoulder ornament worn by Jingpo women.

　　When dressed in their finest attire, women have many silver bubbles and silver pieces pinned to the front and back of their blouses as well as their shoulders. They also wear six or seven silver necklaces, or a string of silver chains and jingling bells around their necks that tinkle as they dance. Their ears are adorned with long silver ear tubes, some even longer than a finger, and their hands are decorated with one or two pairs of large, intricately carved silver bracelets.

　　Women consider wearing more silver ornaments a symbol of beauty and capability.
