The birth of MYSTI ORI stems from the love of Handmade, Ancient Craftsmanship and Oriental Esthetics.
Our jewelry is handcrafted by passionate and experienced artisans using traditional metalworking techniques that have been around for thousands of years.
MYSTI ORI intertwines modern aesthetics and ancient craftsmanship to create a magical story behind each piece of jewelry, telling our thoughts about history and humanity.
K.K. used to be an auditor for the "Global Big Four" accounting firm, inundated with report and statements every day. During a vacation in 2018, K.K. visited the southeastern Guizhou region of China, discovered a mysterious village with a long history hidden deep in the mountains. This place has a unique culture and landscape in the plateau, gathering many ethnic minorities in China. K.K. found a close connection between the lives of local residents and silver jewelry.
Since ancient times, Guizhou has a folk custom of silver ornaments. People usually wear it on various parts of their body during grand festivals and weddings.
K.K. found that it has more than 30 unique and complex silver jewelry production techniques. Many tribes have the exquisite craftsmanship, but their works are rarely known.
Nowadays, many young people from tribes go to work in big cities, and the traditional techniques are facing loss.
The ancient silver ornaments are always endowed with mysterious meanings.
They use them to depict primitive totems and express their beliefs, to ward off evil, avoid disasters, and pray for blessings. This is an emphasis on life and death, as well as a love for nature.
Each exquisite craft product is a treasure that can evoke emotional resonance, after integrating culture and gathering efforts.
K.K. cherished this cultural treasure, founding MYSTI ORI for this love. She devotes herself to the career of handcrafted silver jewelry, continuously learning and becoming a professional handcraft artist, together with experienced craftsmen from Guizhou, and integrates modern aesthetics, passionate and profound cultural history into cold metal, giving temperature to the art craft.
K.K. started with FILIGREE, a highly distinctive and complex craft, hoping to share this gift with the world and provide more employment opportunities for local craftsmen, so that more young people can inherit it.
For K.K. and MYSTI ORI, the story has just begun...
At MYSTI ORI, we understand that true luxury is not only about uniqueness, but also about carving time and conveying faith and blessings. We hope that every piece of MYSTI ORI's work can become a witness to your wonderful life.
When beautiful things come together, one unconsciously wants to create more beauty.
