Yongxing Silverware

　　Yongxing silverware boasts a long history and widespread fame, characterized by its unique cultural heritage and excellent quality.

　　The gold and silver smelting industry in Yongxing has rapidly become one of the county’s most important pillar industries. Currently, Yongxing County is home to over 100 various gold and silver enterprises, with its annual recycled silver production accounting for more than a quarter of the national total. A cumulative total of 15,000 tons of silver and 50 tons of gold have been recovered from “three types of waste.” In 2002, at the first China Silver Annual Conference jointly organized by the World Silver Institute and the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, Yongxing County was honored with the title “China Silver Capital.”
