The Chinese Miao artisan who created this silver jewel spent hours crafting each detail by hand. He put great meaning and symbolism in his work to reflect the ancient culture he was raised in.
Tall spires represent the drum towers found in Miao villages. They were typically used as a site for sacrifices to a higher power.
The fine lines circling the bracelet symbolize fishing lines.
The Miao spires bracelet
In Miao culture, fish is a symbol for fertility and continuation of a family’s blood line. The Miao hope their nation will thrive, and that they will have as many children as a fish has eggs.
This spires bracelet is rather wide. It evokes images of the cuffs soldiers wielded during ancient wars.
Miao people use a unique silversmith technique already thousands of years old. It is almost impossible for other silversmiths to duplicate their work, and it could never be done by any machine.
Local anecdote: Miao women love to adorn their wrists with 4 to 5 pairs of bracelets and other silver jewels. They often wear small ornaments dangling from their earrings, necklaces and other jewelry. While walking, the ornaments make a soothing ringing. This comes from their history of almost continuous migration: the Miao people have always moved in group, and the ringing sound of their jewelry helps them keep track of one another.
