The \u003cstrong\u003eMiao Silver Phoenix Bird Bell Tassel Torque Necklace N01\u003c\/strong\u003e is a long statement necklace inspired by the ceremonial silverwork of the Miao people of southwest China — one of the world's oldest and most intricate jewellery traditions. A rigid silver-tone torque collar sits at the neck, threaded with a woven black cord. Below it, a cascade of hand-engraved spherical beads and a carved square bead descend to a sculptural phoenix bird figure, which crowns a large bell-shaped pendant engraved with floral and mythological motifs. From the pendant hang multiple chains of miniature bells, geometric charms, and pointed drops — each one moving and sounding with the wearer. \u003cem\u003eWear the ceremony.
