This ring was designed and made with filigree craftsmanship, which is the national intangible cultural heritage.

Filigree craftsmanship refers to a traditional metalworking technique in which fine threads of precious metals, such as gold or silver, are meticulously twisted, coiled, and soldered to create intricate and delicate patterns. This art form often involves combining the fine metal wires into floral motifs, lattice designs, or other elaborate decorative shapes.

It is a hallmark of Chinese traditional craftsmanship, dating back over 2,000 years, and is often used in jewelry, royal ornaments, and decorative items. The technique requires exceptional skill and patience, as artisans handcraft every detail with precision.

In ancient Chinese culture, long, untrimmed hair was often a symbol of profound yearning, representing a sense of longing so intense that it made time seem irrelevant. Through the art of filigree, we entwine longing delicately around the fingertips. As the traditional and royal craft in the Chinese history, filigree craftsmanship also symbolizes auspiciousness, good fortune, and beautiful blessings.
