Archaeologist also found gold rings, gold and silver earrings and hairpins. The silver earrings and silver hairpins are so numerous that they have been piled together by the institute.

According to Zhou Chunshui, an expert in the protection of underwater cultural heritage from the National Administration of Cultural Heritage, the jewelry found in Jiangkou came from common people.
