What kinds of jewelry do people wear? And when?
The Sarseian's sense of fashion and use of clothing is sparse, even more so in the warmer northern regions, and consists of light, loose materials, since their fur affords them protection from the sun and cold. In the north, materials are usually lighter or sparser to allow for better wicking of moisture, and blocking of sunlight without inhibiting airflow. Southern materials are usually thicker and block out the wind and insulate against the cold.
The style of wear is similar to a mixture of traditional Japanese and polynesian wear. Togas, body-wraps, kimono-style robes, hoods and ponchos to keep out the cold, and general wear, and sarongs and loose torso-garments to shield from the sun. Some may opt to wear nothing at all, as there is no stigma against doing so.
Jewelry is composed primarily of gemstones, metal, bone, and stones, as well as leather, cloth, and metal. They are usually found as necklaces, piercings, rings and fur-ties. Leather-based protective garments have been used for hazardous jobs as well as metal for armor, though it is sparse.
All Sarseians have a great dislike for foot-coverings that prevent them from being in contact with the planet, as well as being in a location that prevents the flow of energy from reaching them. Some have felt a feeling of strong vertigo or detachedness while being isolated.
