Jewelry

People of Jiuzhaigou are dainty about their headpieces, chest wears, jewelry, waist adornments, and shoes. On big occasions, ladies will put on their best headpieces, earrings, and silver coins on pigtails. Their head is smooth and lubricous, and they appear splendid. Well dressed girls are often targets of young men's gazes.

Necklaces are welcome by both men and women, as well as bracelets and fingers rings. Metal coins and gems hang on the back of ladies, while men like to wear broadswords, pipes, neck articles, silver coins, and other ornaments.

Of various styles of the Tibetan hat, the commonest is a felt hat. In the middle of the last century, western hats were introduced and have been in fashion in Tibetan inhabited areas, today.

Boots are one of the top favors of Tibetans. Men or women, old or young, all wear boots like those of officials and generals in traditional pageant dramas.

Tibetan costume is both practical and colorful, serving a means to demonstrate their wealth. A fine set of clothes may cost over 10,000 or tents of thousands RMB.
