The process of making this neck ring is very unique. A piece of flat gold sheet is firstly hammered out, punched and incised. It is then neatly folded around a long solid silver rod, after which the desired round shape would made up two third of the neck ring. The top part which is engraved with characters is then added on with a hinge and pin closure decorated with tiny silver balls. Indigo pigment is then rubbed onto the recessed design.
