"So who's the lucky boy? Your betrothal necklace. You're getting married, right?" |
Added by Lady LostrisA betrothal necklace is a hand-carved piece of jewelry given to a bride-to-be on her sixteenth birthday. According to Northern Water Tribe customs, when a young woman turns sixteen, her marriage is arranged, and her future husband is to carve a unique design from stone and fasten it to a choker, thus creating a necklace.[2]

History 
Edit
Katara wore a betrothal necklace which previously belonged to Kanna, and was worn by her mother instead of one Hakoda would have made for her.[3] She seemed unaware of the necklace's significance when Yugoda asked her about it.
Princess Yue also wore a betrothal necklace, given to her by Hahn. She revealed her necklace to Sokka after the two shared a kiss on a bridge. Although she was wearing the necklace, Yue did not seem thrilled about marrying Hahn as it was an arranged marriage, only benefiting the political well-being of the Northern Water Tribe.[1]
List of known necklaces Edit
