Context:
The Transvaal Ndebele are related to the Zulu, Swazi and Xhosa peoples. Northern groups of Ndebele live in Zimbabwe. Unmarried girls wear neck rings along with arm, leg, and waist rings. The arm, leg and waist rings are easily removed at the time of marriage, but the neck ring must be cut off. Girls typically wore several neck rings in the first half of the century, but larger, single rings of up to 10' became popular in the 1970's. Married women wear brass or copper neck rings, which often confer or denote prestige and status.
