Let's talk today. ...

Speaking of it, apart from watches, there are really not many accessories that boys usually choose.

But there is a special case, the Indian-style silver ornaments that Sixth Uncle wore before, and many boys really like them. Of course, some boys don't quite understand why a silver lump is better than Huang Jingui. For example, a boy backstage, @Mark's question:

"

Old and wet,

I have a friend who is very rich.

I spent a lot of money on a silver feather recently.

What style is this silver ornament?

Why is it more expensive than gold?

"

Well, this friend's question is interesting. Why is a piece of silver more expensive than gold?

Of course, I'm not going to tell you the magical deeds of Goro and Gao Qiao Goro today. I want to tell you from the perspective of style, where did this silverware style come from? Where is he better than Jin Tuo?

From the big style direction, this main body is made of silver, decorated with gold and turquoise, which is American Indian style jewelry.

To be precise, this is Navajo Indian style. Navajo is actually a tribe of Indians.

Similarly, there are Zuni tribe, Hopi tribe and so on. They all have their own jewelry skills, such as shells and precious stones.

As for the Navajo Indian style we are talking about today, what we are best at is making all kinds of silver ornaments.

The more classic ones are the feathers and eagles mentioned above, and this pumpkin flowers-shaped necklace ▼

But it's just like China used dragons and phoenixes as ornaments in ancient times, because the ancients thought dragons and phoenixes were sacred objects. Indians like to make feathers of eagles and birds. Do they think they are sacred?

That's true.

In the eyes of Indians, the sun and the eagle have special significance. Some Indian tribes and the sun festival ▼

A long time ago, about tens of thousands of years ago, Indians were not in America, but still lived in Siberia, where people froze to death. I don't know if it was too cold, so they settled in America on foot.

Naturally, they have a natural worship of the sun, and even think that the gods live in the sky.

So you can often see the pattern of the sun on Indian-style silver ornaments ▼

What about Indians who like birds? Actually, it has something to do with the sun

Because the eagle flies high, Indians think it is the animal closest to the sun-that is, the gods. If you approach an eagle or put on its feathers, you can talk to God.

So you see, in Indian tribes, high-ranking people with high power often wear eagle crests ▼

Moreover, this worship of birds is not only concentrated on the eagle, as long as it can fly and fly to the sky, Indians feel particularly powerful.

In the movie The Lone Ranger, Depp plays the Indian warrior Toto and simply puts a bird on his head. ...

I wonder if there is such a shape in the real world ▼

Out of this worship of eagles, it is normal for eagles to appear on silver ornaments.

Like a bracelet, or a pendant, it can be directly made into an eagle shape ▼

In addition to the sun and eagle, there will be some animals in Indian works of art, such as buffalo, bear, wolf and so on.

It is said that this is to express the Indians' worship of nature. Indians often meet some wild animals when hunting in the forest, and they can hunt in this forest because they have reached a contract with these wild animals.

So buffalo, wolves and other animals will also be regarded as the totem of their own tribe ▼

Judging from these short stories, in fact, Indians, like other ancient people, will integrate their beliefs and what they have seen and heard in life into handicrafts.

Now, as the article said at the beginning, this style of silver ornaments is called Navajo Indian style. And this Indian-style overall dress is called American Native Style, which is typical like Japanese brand VISVIM ▼

But speaking of it, why does this American style use a Japanese brand as an example?

Because the Japanese can always play foreign culture more thoroughly than the original.

In fact, this kind of thing is not once or twice. For example, Ami Kaji style is the American style of dress that the Japanese learned and then evolved into an independent style ▼

On the other hand, how did the Japanese play about the Navajo Indian style?

When it comes to Japanese Navajo Indian style silverware, there is one person who can't get around it, and that is Gao Qiao Goro.

When Goro Gao Qiao was young, he learned how to make silverware from American troops stationed in Japan. Later, in order to learn real Indian technology, he went directly to the United States and lived with Indians for many years.

Although he is Japanese, I feel that he is also half Indian.

Of course, it is also because some stars wear it, such as Kimura Takuya, a living billboard in the fashion circle, and Goro's ▼, a silver jewelry brand of Miss Gao.

However, although there are long queues of buyers, Mr. Gao still insists on the most primitive hand-making, resulting in Mr. Gao's works being rare. Buying a feather is really not an easy task ▼

Among Mr. Gao's apprentices, there are also very powerful ones.

For example, Tian, as the first generation apprentice of Mr. Gao, founded Tady &；; King is also famous in the silver circle.

Just look at the shape of feathers and eagles, which is somewhat similar to Mr. Gao's works. After all, he is a master and apprentice ▼

It is also a famous Japanese silverware brand with First-Arrows.

His classic pattern is the cross sun, and he will use a lot of wire turquoise in accessories, which is the turquoise with natural lines ▼

Kill two birds with one stone's classic works, and this Tang grass bracelet with gold dots.

The bracelet will have the classic gold decoration of the cross sun ▼

There are vultures and mountains, so I won't give you an example. If you are interested, you can search online yourself.

Generally, these handmade works need to be ordered, which is not convenient to buy. The price is different.

But things made by hand like this cannot be easily measured by the price system of industrial products. After all, people have been making these silver scorpions all their lives, don't you think ▼

Similarly, there are actually some good designers who make handmade silver ornaments in China, such as Ou Yu.

The most classic example is their wind-cut feathers, which are very sharp in shape. He is actually the hardest and longest feather on an eagle's wing. Because it looks like a sword, it is called wind-cutting feather ▼

As far as styling and workmanship are concerned, it is also a quite good product. The most important thing is that the price is much cheaper than Japan ~

Ok, that's all for today's topic about silver ornaments.

Please give me money from the bosses mentioned today.

See you tomorrow:)
