If you enjoy Hmong jewelry, you should look online to buy some. There is an abundance of websites out there that offer these types of products. They are not that expensive depending on what you want.

Add a piece of jewelry to an outfit that you are going to wear somewhere. It can be quite fun to try new pieces. Try necklaces, earrings, bracelets and pendants. Wear something that you like so you feel good about yourself. It is not every day that you can wear something from the other side of the world.

It does seem that most of this jewelry is silver. They do not wear much gold in this part of the world. Hmong people are from Thailand, China, Vietnam, and Laos. They are not just from one country. Most of them, however, are in China. There are about three million there while there are also some in the United States, France, Canada, and Australia.

Circular and curvy patterns are among some of what you can expect in the way of designs. They are really pretty and fun to wear. Some pieces are very bulky and can be heavy to wear. If a Western woman wears these, she will probably not be used to it as many of the Hmong women have been wearing them for years.

Most of the pieces are crafted by hand. Some, however, are passed down from older generations. Marriage and other ceremonies is where they are passed down to keep tradition alive. Great care has been made for each piece and they are very delicate. This is a special time between husband and wife. Giving gifts during this time shows love and devotion.

Usually, women wear these ornamental designs to the supermarket or to go to a friend's house. They do not wear them every day. Regular, tribal women wear them only to those events. Women who have more status wear them more often. The tribal women do not usually wear the authentic silver metal. They wear metal that does not have as much value as that.

Western people are not used to wearing such items around their neck. It may too large to be comfortable for them to wear. The solution is to frame it or put it on display. This can be an exciting project as it can help you explore your creativity. It will be neat when it is a finished project. Show it to your family and friends and see if they like what you have done.

Hmong jewelry has so much to offer. It is very lovely and fun to wear. There are so many designs to choose from. There is so much to enjoy with these pieces. It can be appreciated by someone who likes to explore different cultures. Enjoy this culture by trying out some of their pieces of jewelry. Look online as you stay open-minded and share your new discoveries with your friends.
