They do look heavy and I'm not surprised they can weight up to 70 kg! It is also not surprising they only wear them during the festivals because they're obviously not very practical. However, they are so unique, bold and beautiful that they are simply breath-taking!<br /><br />All the people that wear them seem very proud to do so and it is wonderful they preserve their tradition and heritage in this way. True some may want to show their wealth in this way, but still it is so much more rewarding to see such traditional pieces worn that somebody with a rolex. I think it is wonderful that they have such festivals to show these amazing pieces...and I think majority of these people really feel connection with their tradition and family in this way.<br /><br />Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.com
