Ribbons
A chaplet was decorated by colour ribbons. There were 21 ribbons in it. Every ribbon had its symbolic meaning. For example, a brown ribbon is a symbol of the sun, a light-green ribbon is a symbol of beauty and youth, a blue ribbon is a symbol of the sky and water, an orange ribbon is a symbol of bread, a purple is a symbol of wise, raspberry colour is a symbol of health, a pink colour is a symbol of wealth and harvest.
A brown ribbon is tied in the middle. The next ribbons are tied on both sides from the brown one. Yellow ribbons come the first, then light-green and blue.
There was a white ribbon too. The sky was embroidered on the left end and the moon on the right one.
People believed in magic power of the ribbons. They were sure of their protection from bad eye. That’s why the ribbons were a little longer than a braid to hide it.
