Guizhou, Hunan and Guangxi are one of those areas where the Ethnic Group of Miao live as well as the places where the Miao cultures have been well preserved. Among the colorful and diverse Miao cultures, the silver jewelries, with its enormous quantity, numerous varieties, unique designs and delicate styles, have been regarded as one of the most important symbols. As an old saying goes, “What the feather to birds is silver jewelries to Miao girls.” The silver jewelries are the pride and glory of Miao people, demonstrating the wisdom, history, civilization and esthetic sentiment of the Ethnic Group of Miao.
