Man's leather pattern necklace (Orkeliai)
"When women are making jewelry there are certain things they must take into account. There are colors you cannot put together-you cannot put white next to yellow, nor red next to orange. Colors have meanings: red is danger, white represents milk from our livestock, blue means sky. A lot of jewelry is in circular form because we believe the universe is in a circular form." (Kakuta Hamisi, 2001)
