    thank you all for the compliments. this one is indeed one of the most striking pieces i have in my collection. the minorities in china's southwest wear wonderful neckrings. one my of my lady friends borrowed from me a different but equally stunning chinese minority neckring and wears it often. everytime she wears it, people ask about its origins and even try to buy it from her, haha..

    Strange: comment and piece seem divorced here. Actually: I now see the problem - there are two photos of the same piece. Useful to have.
