Q: Women don't like jewelry?

Maybe it's just me, but I haven't noticed women in China wearing much in terms of earings, necklaces and all that, beyond the usual jade thing.

Is it considered too flashy or arrogant to wear silver and gold?

Get out of the cities and into the provinces girl... many Chinese minorities (I couldn't tell you which ones however) adorn themselves with heavy silver necklaces, bangles and earrings. I think it's the Miao ethnic group in Guangxi who love their silver. Similarly I've seen a lot of gold jewellery being worn in Anhui province.

Chinese women in cities tend to keep jewellery to a minimum. In essence, less is more.

But you can still see some of the older generation wearing gold rings and earrings, a bit like gypsies in European countries. I mean, who else wears gold these days? It's SOOO 80s!

Ludovico's right...

Women stay away from the jewelry here, but have no shame dressing in the most outrageous outfits. Shoes are crazy, bags are crazy...and, last but not least, huge circular sunglasses that make their heads look like bug heads.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
