These elegant characters have the pleasure of wearing lots of beautiful jewelry. Fortune tellers need a gaudy ring on nearly every finger and piles of dangly bangles on both wrists. Gypsies need big hoop earrings and multiple strands of beads around their necks, and wide bangles on their wrists.Belly dancers come in several different varieties, depending on the regions from which they hail. A traditional Egyptian belly dancer can use c, layered-chain chokers and necklaces, and ornate wrist bands. “Tribal” belly dancers, from Turkey or Afghanistan, for example, need lots of rustic metal and glass stone pieces, and even braided threads and tassels.
