Naylates, featuring a profusion of jewelry, bracelets, earrings and necklace
The earnings of the Naylates were in the form of gold and silver coins that were made into necklaces and other jewellery that both ornamented their costumes and provided tangible evidence of wealth. Once a sufficient dowry had been amassed, they found no difficulty in finding a suitable marriage partner among their own people and raising a family.
