In the old society, silver ornaments were more common among the people than jade ornaments, and most of them were worn by children. There are common silver bracelets, silver anklets, silver necklaces, longevity locks, wealth chains and some small ornaments such as mushrooms and reeds. These silver ornaments are made by folk craft silversmiths, and most of them are beautifully made, with exquisite designs of Athens. Some of them are engraved with images of the Chinese zodiac, while others are engraved with traditional mascots such as dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, cranes, deer and bats. Many decorations and objects customized for children are also engraved with the name and date of birth of the admirer. There used to be a skilled old silversmith in Sandu, Zhuji, whose ornaments were deeply loved by the people nearby. Among them, the small silver gourd he made is a boutique: a half-inch long ornament with nine dragons engraved on it; Hanging a gourd upside down, you can find half a sword in your mouth. It is said that children can grow up healthily without diseases and disasters by wearing these longevity chains and trinkets.

Cow rope is a thin rope made of red, yellow, blue, black and white silk. In ancient times, it was also called "Zhu Suo" or "Longevity Suo". Among the yellow representatives, the other four colors represent the southeast, northwest and Sifang respectively, which may also include the Taoist theory of Yin and Yang. Popular multicolored silk has magical power, which can dispel epidemic diseases, detoxify and ward off evil spirits. In the old countryside of Zhuji, if a fortune teller arranged eight words, children were considered to have difficulties in growing up, and their grandmother and mother had to beg colorful silk from their neighbors. It is said that when a child is a few years old, he must ask for several surnames of silk. The silk he wants is better than that of his parents. After all the silk threads are collected, choose an auspicious day to go to the temple in the village, prepare offerings, light incense and insert candles, while letting the Buddha mother chant Buddhist scriptures, knock on wooden fish and weave a "cow rope". Cow ropes are generally woven into a "hundred knots" pattern and put around the child's neck. It is said that they can survive this festival.

There is also a kind of black Yao stone, also called "Leader Stone".
