![Crafting silver earrings: the rosin board]( "Rosin Board") Crafting silver earrings: the rosin board Some Miao silver earrings feature elaborate engravings. The small pieces are first fixed onto a rosin board to hold them steady.
So the silversmith heats the black rosin board to soften the surface. The silver pieces are then easily placed in the near-molten rosin. When the rosin cools down and hardens, the silver jewels are stuck in the surface.
