Jewelry is of great culture for the Mishmi, and even the metal finger ring finds its place very much in this culture. Often, in festivals and rituals or on special occasions, it is put on, and at times it might be conferred as a gift on getting married or from one generation to another in a family. This ring is also believed to give the bearer protection from negative energy or other forms of evil.
The lives of traditional handmade ornaments are slowly fading with modernization; nevertheless, promotions and attempts to conserve the art are being carried out to be able to propagate Mishmi craft through cultural festivals and artisan programs, which will endeavor to facilitate this art development.
