Bead necklaces are worn by both men and women alike. Every bead has its own value, according to its colour and lustre. Sometimes, the bead necklaces are so numerous and heavy that if there is no cloth over the breasts, these bead necklaces can easily cover them. The ornaments of the idu mishmis are few and simple. The men and women wear necklaces of various kinds of beads. The most common necklace is the arulaya, which consists of forty to sixty white beads strung together. Another kind of necklace is the lekapon made of small white beads in twenty strands.
