Chengde Silverware

Chengde Silverware

　　Kuancheng Manchu Autonomous County has long been known as the “Gold Capital Beyond the Great Wall.” For 18 consecutive years, it has been among China’s top counties producing over 10,000 taels of gold and is one of the country’s key gold production regions. The area is also rich in silver resources, which occur alongside gold. Approved and registered by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, Daxin Jewelry & Silverware Shop leverages these resource advantages. By building on traditional Manchu handicraft techniques and integrating modern technology, it produces high-quality pure silverware, various ornaments, commemorative coins and medals, as well as artistic craftworks such as gold and silver thread sand paintings. These items are widely praised for their elegance and refined style. In 2000, Daxin products were named “Famous and High-Quality Products” by the Hebei Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the People’s Government of Chengde City. In the same year, they were selected for exhibition at the First National Manchu Artworks Showcase. In addition to being a symbol of wealth like gold, silver also possesses unique antibacterial and poison-detecting properties. Scientific studies have shown that silver is a natural, permanent antiseptic. Its antibacterial mechanism lies in the formation of positively charged silver ions in liquid, which can adsorb onto bacteria. When separated from the enzymes essential for their respiration, bacteria quickly lose functionality and cannot survive. Therefore, using silverware offers excellent health benefits. The handcrafted Daxin brand silverware (with silver purity ≥99%) is cherished by customers for its noble and elegant appeal, and it has received numerous awards at both the provincial and municipal levels. In addition to fixed models and specifications, the shop can also customize shapes and engravings based on customer requests. Gold and silver thread sand paintings are meticulously created using fine wires drawn from precious metals like pure gold and pure silver, combined with fine powders made from materials such as agate and pearls, or colorful enamels as pigments. These artworks delicately retain the style and charm of the original pieces while adding even greater value to already treasured works. They serve as refined and distinguished decorations for interiors or as elegant gifts for family and friends. (Chengde)
