What is the silver and silver jewelry of Miaoyin? Is it pure silver?

苗族文化

Silverware is a symbol of Miao culture, and Miao silver jewelry has a history of hundreds of years. The Miao people love silver jewelry, especially the Miao girls. They often wear silver crowns, silver rings, silver clothes, silver bracelets, and silver chains on the feet.

What silver is Miaoyin? Miao silver is not pure silver, it is a kind of silver metal unique to the Miao. Its main component is copper, and its silver content is not high. The silver content of Miao silver is about 40%, so the general price is relatively low.

Miao silver jewelry has almost no silver components, generally divided into three categories:

Brass-based "Miaoyin":

It is mainly distributed in Yunnan Province, such as the silver jewelry of Xinhua Village, Heqing County, Dali City, Yunnan Province. Heqing's silver jewelry is mainly composed of brass, and some sterling silver jewelry enters the local market through other channels.

"Miaoyin" based on white copper:

It is mainly distributed in the southeastern part of Guizhou Province, such as the Silversmith Village near Qianhu Miao Village in Kaili City, Guizhou Province. The silver and silver jewelry of Yinshi Village is mainly composed of white copper. It is processed by electroplating, waxing and coloring to form a distinctive Guizhou Miaoyin jewelry.

"Miaoyin" based on red copper:

Also known as copper, it has good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, excellent plasticity, easy to hot and cold pressure processing, and is widely used in the manufacture of wires, cables, brushes, electric sparks, etc. . Although the hardness of red copper is poor, it can be made into various tools and decorations directly after being beaten.

Although Miaoyin has a certain influence in the silverware industry, with the changes in society, the traditional Miaoyin has been unable to keep up with the development of the times. Miao silver jewelry is constrained by factors such as lack of production scale, backward marketing methods, and insufficient cutting-edge design talents. Guizhou Miaoyin is still lacking in competitiveness and has a low market share at home and abroad. Only local markets have a greater impact.
