When in search of a supplier for authentic sterling silver accessories, the Miao people of China are often who come to mind. Miao sterling silver rings and other pieces are synonymous with beauty and quality craftsmanship. The only way to truly appreciate the beauty of the Miao silver workmanship is to own a piece yourself. The three different varieties of Miao silverware can be distinguished by region. In the eastern area of China, the people of the Guizhou Province wear the silver ornaments with pride. Perhaps the thing that this region is most noted for is the hats that are intricately crafted with over 100 pieces and topped with horn-like decorations. Moving onto the second region, the Songatao and Tongren provinces are well-known for delicate earrings made with a high degree of precision and artisanship. There is also a third region just west of Guiyang. It's the capital of the Guizhou Province and offers an exclusive variety of silverware including hairpins, combs, and flower decorations. All three provinces make commonly hunted items like neckbands, rings, earrings, and bracelets. There is a great demand for Miao silverware and there are some areas considered "silver villages" or large compound silver workshops. In the past, the Miao had no natural silver resources, so they scavenged pieces of silver coins and ingots that were received in exchange for labor. Then they made ornate decorations from their pay. Wax printing and embroidery are two art forms that these silver decorations are said to have evolved from and would explain the variety of graceful patterns and lovely artisanship. The silver decorations also represent the spiritual side of the Miao people, and their ability to create masterpieces through their work. Several retailers online and offline sell sterling silver, but rest assured that only one place delivers 100% authentic Miao sterling silver rings 100%.
