Tonghai County is the only ethnic Mongol settlement in Yunnan, where silversmithing has a nearly 800-year-old history. Tonghai silver ornaments mean good fortune and wealth in Han culture, and their production reflects the handicraft techniques of central China.

Guess what the shape of the bracelet means.
