*Fine silver, with a millesimal fineness of 999, is also known as pure silver. Although its softness makes it less commonly used in modern jewelry making due to the challenges it poses during crafting, artisan artists from the Miao ethnic group in Guizhou continue to work with fine silver to preserve their traditional craftsmanship. Their dedication results in high-quality, exquisitely crafted pieces that demonstrate exceptional artistry and skill.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

All silver jewelry will naturally age and tarnish over time. To reduce air exposure, store each piece individually in a small sealed plastic bag after removing as much air as possible. If oxidation occurs, use a silver polishing cloth to restore its shine.
