Neck ring

Neck ring is an interesting form to live and art body for cultures Asian Neck rings or neck-rings are any form of stiff jewelry worn as an ornament around the neck of an individual, as opposed to a loose necklace. Many cultures and periods have made neck rings exist many variants of this ritual that begin when the girl have only 2 years the first is the torc, an often heavy and valuable ornament normally open at the throat. These were worn by various early cultures but are especially associated with the ancient Celts of the European Iron Age, where they were evidently a key indicator of wealth and status, mostly worn by men  The other type is one or more spiral metal coils of many turns, often worn only by women  In a few African and Asian cultures neck rings are worn usually to create the appearance that the neck has been stretched  Padaung (Kayan Lahwi) women of the Kayan people begin to wear neck coils from as young as age two The length of the coil is gradually increased to as much as twenty turns. The weight of the coils will eventually place sufficient pressure on the clavicles to cause them to deform and create an impression of a longer neck.

The custom of wearing neck rings is related to an ideal of beauty: an elongated neck. Neck rings push the collarbone and ribs down. The neck stretching is mostly illusory: the weight of the rings twists the collar bone and eventually the upper ribs at an angle 45 degrees lower than what is natural, causing the illusion of an elongated neck  The vertebrae do not elongate, though the space between them may increase as the intervertebral discs absorb liquid
