A pair of finished Miao silver earrings
A pair of Miao sterling silver earrings often has many separate silver pieces linked or welded together. So soldering is an important step.
To remove stains on the silver, the silversmith will put them into phosphoric acid for a while. Soon the silver earrings will become brighter and whiter.
In some Miao areas, customers can ask to have their names engraved on the silver earrings. The silversmith will use an iron stick that has English letters on its tip. He’ll just lightly hammer the iron stick on the silver earrings, and this wish can be fulfilled in a moment.
