Its origin can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. It reached its peak during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and became the most popular decorative technique in the jewelry of court noble women. Craftsmen use Silver plated with gold as the base, and then inlay it with carefully cut feathers, making the jewelry shine with a blue light as dynamic as Gemstone, showing the ultimate aesthetic and craftsmanship. Since kingfishers are now listed as protected animals, contemporary inlaying kingfishers no longer use traditional feathers, but instead use legally sourced white goose feathers, peacock feathers, parrot feathers or environmentally friendly synthetic feathers, which not only retains the beauty of color, but also responds to respect for nature. So far, every step of the kingfisher feather craft, from metal body making, feather cutting, shape composition to detailed inlay, cannot be completed by mechanization, and must rely on pure manual operation by craftsmen. Because of this, each work requires a lot of time and concentration to complete, and therefore, each kingfisher feather jewelry is a unique work that cannot be replicated. As a traditional technique that combines goldwork, feather inlay and design, kingfisher feather inlay is no longer just a symbol of the palace, but also an artistic language that condenses time, culture and craftsmanship. Even as time passes, it still amazes the world with its unique blue.
