The traditional approach to crafting silver jewelry is highly intricate, involving over thirty steps that include smelting, casting, welding and knotting. The resulting silver pieces have a diverse range of styles and are meticulously fashioned. Each piece seems to tell a legend or depict one of the mythical creatures cherished by the Miao people.
