"I firmly believe that continuous innovation is the key to integrate our traditional silver jewelry into everyday life, ensuring this age-old craft is preserved and pass down through generations."

Born in Malao Village, a place with a rich history in the silversmithing craft, renowned as the hometown of Chinese silversmiths, this small village in Guizhou has always focused on preserving the art of silver jewelry forging. Over the years of experience, Pan has become:

1. A recognized inheritor of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage of Silversmithing

3. A distinguished expert at the Dalian Academy of Science and Design Arts
4. Founder of his jewelry brand

Pan was nominated as a candidate for the "Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage Person of the Year" in 2020.

His father didn’t want him to become a silversmith, fearing the career is laborious with meager income. Now, Pan Shixue's shop receives substantial orders regularly, alleviating the financial concerns of the family. He hopes his children will follow his journey to be a silversmiths in the future, continuing to preserve the unique 400-year silver crafting skills.

"I am committed to showcase the rich culture of the Miao People to the world through our distinctive Miao silversmithing craft. The goal is to prevent the unique Miao craftsmanship from fading away, a skill that has hidden deeply in the mountains of Guizhou for thousands of years!”
