Jewellery-

Married women love wearing 'Bichhuwas' or toe- rings made of silver, while nose rings or 'Naths' made of gold and small nose studs known as 'Keels' are also worn by them. They are quite fond of decorating themselves with different types of jewelleries which involve 'chandanhar' or necklaces, 'hansulis' or ornaments worn around neck and also necklaces equipped with beautifully coloured beads. Silver or copper amulets are used by married women, and 'churis' or bangles made of silver, gold or coloured glass are favourites of young girls and women. Bhotiya womenfolk are also known to wear jewels made of ivory and regional men of Chamoli wear gold chains around their neck.
