In the harsh conditions of the Tibetan high plateau it is important to have a dress protecting one against the adversities of weather–coldness, wind, and strong solar radiation during the summer. The most important part of Tibetan clothing is therefore a warm and heavy coat, felt boots and various kinds of caps and hats, often made from precious materials such as brocade with rich embroidery and other ornaments.
Important accessories are metal jewels made from silver, conch-shells, carved yak bones, and precious stones. There are also beads, necklaces, earrings, rings, hair-buckles and braces, charms, buckles, embellishing threads and hair-tassels, traditional metal buttons, twisted belts, and a man’s leather belt with pockets. The most favourite stones are turquoise, which are believed to bring good luck.
