: The Miao long butterfly ring

This captivating long butterfly ring was crafted by a proficient Chinese Miao artisan. It took him days to complete this piece. The secret techniques he used have been passed down in his family for hundreds of years.

Local anecdote: The Miao have a long tradition of dressing up their look with beautiful silver jewelry. Miao women like to wear 8 rings on the 8 fingers of both hands, with only their thumbs free. Some rings are over half the length of their fingers. When you go to their markets to buy silver jewelry, they will rub the jewel on a black stone. If the jewel leaves a white mark, then it is truly made of the purest silver.

This 6.5 gram long butterfly ring is 40 mm long and 22 mm wide. What a perfect adornment for your beautiful, slim fingers!

Please note: As such rings are very difficult to make, the Miao jewelers can only avail us a limited quantity at any time during the year. We apologize if there are none in stock at the time of your order.

Guarantees: The Miao artist who created this jewel is an extremely skilled craftsman. We are proud to be able to guarantee his workmanship. Please note that barely visible imperfections are the telltale signs this jewel was handmade.

This enchanting 99.9% pure silver spires bracelet adds an exotic touch to your wrist and attracts glances with its shimmering beauty.

Shining spires encircle the wide cuff, and stick up from their grooved base.

Each spire was carefully hand shaped and is topped with a round, smooth silver sphere.

Take a look at the intricate lines woven along both sides of the central pattern. The silver threads stand out and add to the unique finish of the bracelet.

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.

caption id="" align="alignright" width="300" caption="The Miao spires bracelet"/caption

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.

Slide this spires bracelet on your wrist now and enjoy the beauty of a place thousands of miles away!

Please note: As such bracelets are very difficult to make, the Miao jewelers can only avail us a limited quantity at any time during the year. We apologize if there are none in stock at the time of your order.
