Miao Chinese Bracelet - New Tribal Cuff Bracelet
New Miao style wire work cuff bracelet. Lots of fine details on this cuff - granulation work and raised coiled-wire knobs. Our new Miao jewelry is a silver alloy that maintains it’s silvery color and tarnishes a bit over time. Slightly adjustable.
Pretty Miao Chinese wirework and spike style cuff bracelet made of silver mixed with white metals. This new bracelet has a band that is 1-3/8 inches wide and 6.5 inches long. Spikes sit on top of delicate wirework, combining a tribal look with an almost lacy-looking band. These cuffs are adjustable slightly , from about 6.5 inches up to 8 inches or maybe a little more. Because these are handmade, there may be some slight variation in size and shape.
The Miao are an ethnic group belonging to South China. Silver jewelry is a well-known traditional craft of the Miao people. Apart from being a cultural tradition, it also symbolizes the wealth of Miao women. As a Miao saying goes, “decorated with no silver or embroidery, a girl is not a girl”. It was especially important to wear heavy and intricate silver headdresses and jewelry during significant occasions and festivals, notably during weddings, funerals and springtime celebration. Silver jewelry is an essential element of Miao marriages, particularly to the bride. Miao families would begin saving silver jewelry for girls at an early age.
