Miao Silver Jewels: Unique Valentine's Day Gift

By David Cheng

Selecting a gift of silver jewel for Valentine's Day can be a very tough job. It is always hard to find one that is unique enough to convey the depth of your love to her.

Maybe you should try those made by the ethnic tribe of Miao in southwestern China. Their jewels make amorous gifts for lovers.

First, the designs, which are always unique and themed on romance and love.

Take the most popular design of 'butterfly lovers' for instance. The design draws a scene from the famous Chinese legend of love: two brilliant butterflies chasing a flower in full bloom. You won't find a design in your local jewelry shop with exactly the same design.

This love legend goes that a young man and a young women fell in love with each other. Unfortunately, they came from two feudal families, and couldn't be together whatsoever. Desperate and painful, they killed themselves, hoping in their afterlives they can be a couple.

Sure they did. The two became a pair of butterflies, and could now dance and live together. Nothing now stood between them.

Thus, the scene became a symbol of love and romance in China.

Also, there are other properties of Miao silver jewels that girl craze for.

The jewels are made of silver that is 99% pure. The quality makes the jewels much more brighter and shinier than other jewels.

Miao silver artisans made their jewels all by their hand. No machines are involved in the making. Handmade jewels have a quality unlike any other, as we all know.

The craftsmanship to make your Miao jewels dates back to 1, 000 years ago, and has been perfected to a great level.

Every single piece of Miao silver jewel is precious. Today, there are only a handful of Miao artisanss who have mastered the skills. And the craftsmanship is strictly kept within a family.

Now imagine the smile of your loved one when a Miao silver jewel gives her the confidence and unique look in a big crowd.
