In some Asian and African cultures, the cervical ring is a metal coil wrapped around the neck for body modification. The decoration of the body with the cervical rings promotes the neck stretching, resulting in an extended neck, which is considered to be the height of beauty in various tribal traditions. Although some tribes still practice the habit of stretching the neck, it is less common than it was once, and due to the unique appearance of the individual sports ring of the neck, it is now largely implemented for tourism purposes. In some cultures, a significantly outstretched neck is considered one of the highest forms of physical beauty. Some tribes will start the neck stretching process on a girl aged two years. Older girls can also start wearing the neck rings to attract male attention. Over time, more rings are added. Some neck rings are spirals contain more than one coil. The gradual addition of the rings puts the stress of the shoulder blades and drives the collarbone and the ribs down.
