Xin Lao Mong lives high in the mountains of southwest China.

Her village lies deep among the ridges. The road twists through forests and valleys before reaching the cluster of wooden houses where Miao families have lived for generations.

During our recent research trip to Jiayi Village, we met her there.

She is a tailor.

For many years, she has sat by the window, cutting cloth, threading needles, and stitching traditional Miao costumes by hand. The embroidery is delicate. The work is slow. Sometimes a single outfit takes months to complete.

She raised four daughters.

The costumes she made helped pay for their education, and she supported all four of them through university.

She told us that two of her daughters have already started working. They often ask her to travel with them and see the world beyond the mountains. They want to take her to cities she has never visited—to places she has only seen in photographs.

But she always says she prefers the village. This is where she feels at home.

When the conversation turns to her daughters, her expression softens.

Then she takes out several silver crowns. She keeps them carefully wrapped and stored away.

In Miao culture, silver ornaments are passed down from mothers to daughters. They carry blessings, memories, and hopes from one generation to the next.

Xin Lao Mong handles each piece gently, as though she is touching the years themselves.

The crowns are beautiful. But when she looks at them, she is not seeing at silver. She is seeing her daughters.

Bless all mothers.

When two crafts meet, distance disappears.
Silver and horsehair, shaped by different hands and different landscapes, finding a place within the same piece.

The Crescent Moon collection, designed by Di, founder and designer of CUNZU, for CHJ Jewellery in collaboration with Madame Figaro China, celebrates the poetic beauty of the crescent moon through exquisite filigree craftsmanship.

Inspired by traditional Chinese philosophy, the collection embodies the belief that simplicity reveals true elegance, conveying the timeless concept that “less is more.”

From the continuation of the broken-thread technique, to the encounter between Miao filigree and Chile horsehair weaving, we have always been exploring new possibilities for the traditional silvermaking artistry of the Miao people.

Miao tassel rings, also known as “swing rings,” are a traditional form of Miao silver jewelry known for their sense of movement.

Delicate silver tassels hang beneath the ring, swaying softly with the motion of the hand and creating a subtle sound when worn. Traditionally, the movement and sound were also believed to help ward off bad spirits.

More than ornament, these rings are designed to move with the body — becoming part of gesture, rhythm, and daily life. In our interpretation, this tassel structure is preserved, allowing the piece to remain light, kinetic, and alive in movement.

Silver that belongs to the Miao people appears in festivals and weddings, then returns to everyday life, becoming part of daily existence.

This time, we carried that kind of silver a little farther into the world. It travels across great distances to meet horsehair in Chile and silk in Morocco, taking root once again in new creations.

We continue to explore new possibilities within the tradition of Miao silversmithing — this time through the meeting of Miao filigree and horsehair weaving in Distant Hands.
