To realise these forms, our work follows silver-shaping methods refined over generations within Miao communities in China. Each stage is carried out by hand through a slow, deliberate process that allows space for judgment and adjustment.

Traditional techniques such as hand hammering, chiselled engraving, filigree work and gradual shaping let the metal respond. No moulds are used and no patterns are repeated. Each curve and line develops through patient work rather than mechanical reproduction.

Subtle traces of the hand remain visible. A softened edge or a measured variation in symmetry reflects attention to material and process rather than the uniformity of a machine. Within this practice, such marks are not imperfections, but indicators of care and control.

While rooted in long-practised methods, every form is considered for contemporary wear. Weight, refinement and proportion are adjusted with restraint.
