It's said that silverware is to the Miao what a drop of water is to the ocean. A young Miao woman's silver jewelry and ornaments, passed down through many generations in her family, can make up a substantial collection. These silver pieces, which belonged to her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, carry the shared memories of the women in the family.
