Colored Glaze Jewelry
Chinese Liuli, or "colored glaze," is a perfect integration of ancient culture and modern art. With more than two thousand years of history, Liuli is currently made using dewaxed casting and artificial crystals. The entire process may take up to 20 days for each figurine. Each one must be exquisite, bright and limpid.
Near the HeNan Hotel in Beijing, there is a shop on the first floor of Bai Gong Handicraft Museum named Bai Yi De Kun, where they offer high quality colored glaze artwork. I also found a large variety of pendants and colorful bracelets on display.
The shop assistant told me that Liuli is very durable and as hard as jade. The hottest item in the shop is a pendant named "Yuan Meng," which means "realizing one's dream." I liked its beautiful, translucent blue circular ring that matched a 14K white gold necklace. It was so mysterious and gorgeous, and that's why it was so popular.
The shop also offers some crafts fit for presents or souvenirs, such as a Peking Opera folding screen, each one of them a very good collection for your house.
Do you like fancy silverware?
If you like silverware, I recommend a little shop near the Beijing NingXia Hotel that has sterling silver flatware, silver accessories, and amber ware, all at very good prices. They even have some antiques mixed in with their modern designs!
Upon entering the shop, maybe you will find its products are similar to those at other shops at a glance. But upon closer examination you will notice the fine material and delicate craftsmanship from Nepal, India, and Tibet.
The most popular item is a classical silver ring featuring a 4mm square gem in the middle, with 2.5mm stones on the sides that alternate blue and clear. This polished sterling silver ring is priced at RMB 388.
You will find your favorite in things this shop, because the shop owner is from Nepal, and he speaks a little English, so he can give you good advice and background info on the things you want to buy.
