The production of gold and silver ware（金银器） is the most complicated and difficult traditional technology in Tibetan handicraft industry. The main tool is the hammer and knife, as well as the stove, the bellows, etc. There are two steps in the process, first putting the gold and silver in the charcoal fire, and then using a hammer to hammer it thousands of times to make the semi-finished product. Then, carve exquisite pictures in the semi-finished product carefully to make the finished product. There are many elegant carvings in the silver products like the bracelets, necklaces, hair ornaments, knife pins, wine glasses and other gold silverware.
