Porcelain beads in Jingdezhen
A ring decorated with a porcelain bead is on display at a factory of Cihai ceramic company in Jingdezhen, East China's Jiangxi province on Nov 12. As the first maker of porcelain jewelry in Jingdezhen, the company has been dedicated to turning ceramic residues into exquisite beadwork. It took 10 years for the company to improve manufacturing techniques and produce glossy beads hard enough to use in jewelries. Jingdezhen, or Jingde town, formerly known as the "Porcelain Capital" of China, is one of China's most famous cultural and historic cities. [Photo/Chinanews.com] |
