in Myanmar&rsquo;s Kayah area have worn bronze rings around their necks.</span> <span data-start-time='8583' data-end-time='13313'>The rings are a traditional symbol of beauty.</span> <span data-start-time='13313' data-end-time='18875'>They also extend the necks of the women, making them very long.</span> <span data-start-time='18875' data-end-time='27104'>But now, younger Kayan women are turning away from the tradition of their ancestors.</span> <span data-start-time='27104' data-end-time='34813'>Mu Tu is one of the few women who knows how to make the traditional rings and put them on.</span> <span data-start-time='34813' data-end-time='38083'>She is 48 years old.</span> <span data-start-time='38083' data-end-time='45792'>She says, "The shorter sets are easier to make, everyone has their own preference.</span> <span data-start-time='45792' data-end-time='52646'>So if someone doesn't like what you've put on, you have to take it off and start over."</span> <span data-start-time='52646' data-end-time='61229'>Maria Khaing has been wearing rings on her neck, wrists and knees since she was eight-years-old.</span> <span data-start-time='61229' data-end-time='64396'>She is now 83.</span> <span data-start-time='64396' data-end-time='70271'>She said, &ldquo;My dad told me I looked like a boy.</span> <span data-start-time='70271' data-end-time='75083'>He said, 'so I will buy you a gun to hunt as a man'.</span> <span data-start-time='75083' data-end-time='81958'>But I said, 'every girl is wearing the rings, so I want to wear the rings too'."</span> <span data-start-time='81958' data-end-time='89563'>Maria never removes the rings, even when cooking, eating or working.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky'
