African Neck Rings
The African neck ring(s) are worn on both woman, and men as well. The neck rings are a form of stiff jewellery, and are worn to create the illusion of elongating the neck. The neck ring pushes the clavicle and ribs down creating this illusion, the weight twists the collarbone and over time the ribs at a 45 degree angle lower than its natural position.
although not everyone experiences it, removal of neck rings can be painful. if removed incorrectly there is possibility of death.
