As a traditional gold and silver jewellery making process in China, due to its complicated production process, the finished product is very difficult to preserve and the kingfisher feathers used are rare, and the traditional craftsmanship caused by environmental protection is almost lost. Most of the modern jade crafts and ornaments that have been seen in the Qing Dynasty have been handed down from the Qing Dynasty. The development of the Dian Cui craft reached its peak during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Point Cui is the perfect combination of traditional metal craft and feather craft in China. It is made of gold or gilt metal to make different patterns of the base, and then the beautiful Turkish blue feathers on the back of the kingfisher are carefully embedded in the seat. Jewelry utensils. It is said that Cui Yu must be taken from the living kingfisher to ensure the bright and colorful colors. According to the different parts and crafts, Cui Yu can present different colors such as banana moon, lake color and deep navy. The emerald blue and snow cyan are top grades, plus the natural texture and magical light of the bird feathers. The whole work is rich and varied, and it is magnificent and lively.

Cloisonné, also known as “copper tires and silkwormsâ€, is the most famous traditional craft in China.
