The three most popular types of jewelry in South Korea

Korean-style decorations, hairpins, and embroidered shoes - these seemingly ordinary items are actually quite popular in South Korea. Below, I will introduce them to you separately.

Decoration 1: Hanging ornaments

This type of hanging ornament is the most common accessory in Hanbok (traditional Korean clothing), often worn on the short jacket or skirt waist. Nowadays, there are three-piece and single-piece hanging ornaments, made from materials such as coral, jade, and amber. With their exquisite cutting and colors, they are priceless. They are not only decorations but also contain the women's wishes for wealth, many sons, good fortune in all matters, and longevity. Besides being used purely for decoration, they also have multiple functions. Women can use them to hold incense, emergency medicine, needles, stakes, and knives.
