The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Not just that. The value of this longevity lock isn't only in the engraved silver patterns but also in its craftsmanship, which involves numerous skills. The one in Miss's hand is considered top-notch, starting with the finest silver chosen."
Silver is also graded, and naturally, locks made from different grades of silver are not the same.
Compared to the choice of silver, the craftsmanship of making silver, the patterns on the longevity lock only come last. But even these last-place skills are of the highest order among silversmiths.
And those with such skills are few in all of Great Jin.
Outsiders may not know who it is, but those in the industry can tell at a glance that this is the handiwork of Shangzhou's Xia Dajiang.
