The Miao people, a minority ethnic group in the southwest mountain regions of China, are known for their gorgeous and elaborate silver jewelry. To the Miao, silver is their most prized procession, and their jewelry is handmade using traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation. The designs, patterns, and styles are varied based on the region from which the ornaments originated. This exquisite set of Miao jewelry set features a necklace with carvings of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals on its bands. Two matching floral motif earrings complete the set. This collection comes displayed in a museum quality shadowbox that accentuates the silver's lovely craftsmanship.
