Beijing: Traditional Chinese Jewelry DIY Experience

Try Diancui, a classic Chinese jewelry craft that peaked during the Qing Dynasty. Make your own shiny keepsake.
Diancui is a traditional Chinese ornament craft for gold and silver jewelry, with origins tracing back to the Han Dynasty. It serves as a decorative technique for fine jewellery. Works made in this style feature brilliant color and striking luster. With proper care, the shine and vivid hue can endure for a very long time.

This craft reached its golden age during the reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. It remained popular from the late Qing period through the Republic of China, before gradually fading from public sight amid the war. It carries superb craftsmanship and timeless artistic value, born from people’s love for beautiful things.
