DESCRIPTION OF THE JEWELLERY
衡HENG is our gender neutral collection inspired by the philosophy of the Tao. This adjustable silver ring is completely handmade by the artisan Yang from Qiandongnan, Guizhou. The hammer pattern is inspired by our cymatics experiment SEE SOUND. We visualized the sound collected in the mountains of Guizhou and applied it to the design of 衡HENG. The body of the ring is slightly curved with smooth hammer patterns. The fine silver gives it a unique texture and silky touch.
Material: Fine silver (s999)- 5.6 g.
*Fine silver has a millesimal fineness of 999. Also called pure silver, it is less and less used in jewellery making due to its soft feature that increases the difficulty in the making process. However, to respect the tradition in the region, artisans insist to use fine silver to create high-qualified pieces with exquisite technique.
Size: Main Body:2.4cm*2cm *adjustable in size
Artisan: Yang started to learn silversmithing from his dad when he was 8 years old. Now he is running a family workshop with his wife in Qiandongnan, Guizhou. Not like his dad who focuses on making silver jewellery with traditional style, Yang always wants to create contemporary pieces with traditional skills and knowledge. The creativity and ingenuity that younger generation of silversmith bring Miao silvermaking into a new era.
ABOUT CUNZU
At CUNZU, every piece begins with a story of place.
Founded in Paris, CUNZU begins with Hmong silver—a living craft where every thread of silver carries the spirit of the mountains, the memory of home, and generations of artistry. For the Hmong people, jewelry is more than adornment; it is a legacy shaped by patience, devotion, and the human hand.
Rooted in this tradition, CUNZU works hand in hand with master artisans to preserve heritage craftsmanship while reimagining it through a contemporary design language. Every piece is meticulously handmade, honoring time-honored techniques and the quiet beauty of slow fashion.
Our journey starts with Hmong silver and extends to exceptional crafts from around the world, connecting artisan communities through thoughtful design and enduring partnerships. We believe authentic luxury is created by the hands that make it. By celebrating handmade craftsmanship and timeless fashion jewelry, we hope these remarkable traditions continue to be worn, cherished, and passed from one generation to the next.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
All silver jewellery will age and tarnish naturally. Store your pieces individually in small zip-lock plastic bags after having removed as much air as possible. To clean silver jewelry with pearls, use a clean, soft cloth or a sponge to apply a small amount of the silver cleansing cream to the silver item and to avoid the pearl. Rinse the silver item thoroughly with water and pat the silver item dry with a clean, soft cloth. We also provide jewellery care services, please contact us if it’s needed.
