Huangping Silver Jewelry

Huangping Silver Jewelry

　　Primarily featuring Miao silver jewelry and Gejia silver jewelry. Miao silver jewelry is divided into headwear, necklaces, waist ornaments, and hand ornaments; Gejia silver jewelry includes headwear, necklaces, and hand ornaments. There are no living Miao or Gejia silver jewelry artisans, so each type has relatively fixed styles—not only differing in shape, but also in the patterns and motifs on the silver pieces. Miao silver jewelry often features designs of dogs, cats, horses, fish, insects, flowers, and birds; Gejia silver jewelry favors motifs such as the sun, stars, dragons, phoenixes, bats, and certain plants. The variety in style and the diversity of patterns make Huangping silver jewelry richly colorful and of high artistic value.
