Miao or Hmong Tribal Jewelry comes from a group of Asiatic people who migrated away from their homelands in what is now the Southwestern Provinces of China. Miao silver is 60% silver; an alloy of silver, white copper and nickel.
Nearly every Miao person wears silver, mostly silver bracelets or big shiny bangles. It has been a part of their culture for over 400 years. Due to the lack of silver resources in the area, Miao people would melt the silver coins and ingots they earned to create jewelry. This was the main reason for the different purity of silver as currency was different from region to region.
