It is not a necklace. It is a cabinet of curiosities worn at the chest. The Miao Silver Statement Torque & Woven Tassel Bib Necklace N04 is a full ceremonial bib necklace combining a rigid engraved silver-tone torque collar with a hand-woven black cotton bib panel from which hang approximately twelve individual Miao silver charms — each one a different form, a different story: a leaping deer, a diamond-form reliquary box, a cone-shaped amulet, a four-petal flower medallion, ribbed pumpkin spheres, a large melon-ribbed ball, a red-stone-set sphere, and more. The bib panel is woven from black cotton cord in an open lattice pattern; the bottom edge dissolves into a dense curtain of long black tassels. The torque collar is fitted with engraved butterfly/phoenix end connectors that attach to the bib via black knotted cord. Wear the whole tradition at once.

Made from copper with silver-tone electroplating, finished with a controlled antiquing process (black/yellow patina) that deepens the engraved detail on each charm and gives the piece its aged, ceremonial quality. The charms are individually cast and finished. The bib panel is hand-woven from black cotton cord. The tassel fringe is hand-cut and knotted. Please note: as this is a handmade piece assembled from individual Miao silver charms, specific charm pieces may occasionally be substituted with comparable charms of similar form and quality if a particular piece is out of stock.

Not necessarily.

No. The black/yellow patina is applied by hand as part of the antiquing process. The surface may have traces of carbon powder or wax patina. Simply wipe with a soft dry cloth before wearing to remove any loose residue.
At approximately 650g, this is a substantial ceremonial statement piece designed for occasional wear — photoshoots, events, performances, or special occasions. The torque collar distributes the weight across the shoulders. It is best worn with simple, structured linen or cotton clothing.

Craftsmanship Notes +
The Miao people of southwest China have practised silversmithing for over a thousand years. Ceremonial bib necklaces of this type were worn at festivals and rites of passage — the more charms, the greater the occasion. Each charm form carries its own meaning: the deer for longevity, the flower for fertility, the sphere for wholeness. This piece brings those forms together into a single wearable object.
Each charm is made from copper with silver-tone electroplating, individually cast and finished with a hand-applied antique patina. The bib panel is hand-woven from black cotton cord. The tassel fringe is hand-cut and knotted. The torque collar end connectors are engraved with butterfly and phoenix motifs.
- Before first wear: wipe all silver surfaces with a soft dry cloth to remove any loose carbon powder or wax patina residue.
- Do not wear whilst bathing or swimming.
- Avoid contact with perfume and lotions to preserve the plating finish.
- Store flat or hanging in a sealed bag when not in use to slow oxidation.
- If the silver surfaces oxidise or yellow over time, polish gently with a soft toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste, then rinse and dry.
