Guigang Laos Dang | Walk into the old golden craftsman's melt years

In the 1980s and 1990s

When the older generation gets married

Maybe they will go to the local golden shop

Put a few gold and silver jewelry

Now, with the development of the commodity economy

The once prosperous gold and silver processing store,

Golden craftsmen with superb craftsmanship

Also slowly faded out of people’s vision

Xiaoxuan visited and found that in the old streets of Guigang

There are still many golden artists who are sticking to

There are locals and foreigners

In the 1990s, he joined the golden craftsman

"Golden Phoenix Gold and Silver Jewelry"

Opposite the north gate market in Guigang City, Guigang City

The store is not large, about 20 square meters

Born in the 1990s

"When I was young, I learned this craft from my uncle." Master Lin said.

Master Lin is a native of Guigang. Most of the impression of traditional goldrs is the old man who reads vicissitudes. Master Lin is less than 50 years old, which is a rare "young" inheritor in this line.

Like Master Lin, "Xichen Jewelry" on Shiyangtang Road, Jiangbei Avenue, Master Dong, the owner, also began to engage in the golden crafts industry in the 1990s. Master Dong was from Fujian. He initially worked at a local state -owned jewelry factory. He came to Guigang to make a living in 1996 and opened this gold and silver processing store.

"From less than 4 square meters of shops to nearly 50 square meters of shops, the process is difficult and sweet," said Master Dong's wife, Ms. Liu.

The golden age of the golden shop

According to the introduction of 2 masters

At the end of the 1990s

Until the beginning of the 21st century

It is the golden age of the golden shop in Guigang City

"At that time, it was about 5 yuan for processing, and an average of more than 100 yuan a day was allowed. Now most of them came to the store to clean and repair jewelry." Ms. Liu said.

Ms. Liu introduced that when the "Xichen Jewelry" was just opened, there were four golden shops around. Twenty years have passed, and now there are only them.

"This line is based on craftsmanship and reputation." Master Dong revealed that the newly opened shops nearby generally can't support it for two years, and now they are old customers and back.

The transitional gold shop

Care and customize

In recent years, online shopping has become a normal way of shopping, and traditional industries have been greatly impacted. There are few people who have had good revenue, and few people are now asking.

Master Lin of "Golden Phoenix Gold and Silver Jewelry" introduced that in order to keep up with the development of the times, today's golden shop can be used to replace the finished products or choose the money directly in the store.

Traditional gold craftsmanship includes melting, hammer, grinding, polishing, etc.

Today, with the continuous update of the craft

The iron molds used by the Goldsmiths have been replaced by gypsum mold

Make the jewelry more exquisitely made

More styles and easier to operate

▲ Gypsum mold

▲ Master Lin used a spray gun to melt the silver into the gypsum mold

▲ High temperature melting

▲ Cooling out

▲ The molding necklace parts after gypsum molding

▲ Master Lin cut off the necklace part with scissors

▲ Handmade series necklace parts

▲ Use agate to polish the finished silver necklace

▲ Products necklace

Under the fire, forging

A finished silver necklace jumps in front

Now the market environment has changed greatly and fierce competition

How to find vitality in the big market

Maybe it is a question that traditional goldrs need to consider in urgent need

Ms. Chen lived near the "Xichen Jewelery" store. When the jewelry was dirty and the necklace was broken, she got it in the store to clean and repair it. She said: "They are professional, and they must find them in this need."

Gold and silver jewelry are unusual

High value, clear consumer group, high professionalism

The golden shop that can persist must have its own place

Take a high -end customized golden shop may usher in a new turning point
