As part of the CIPCC program, a media tour was organized for foreign journalists to Tongzhou district in Beijing.

During the media tour, we visited several sites, but the Dongfang Yizhen Filigree Inlay Factory left the most striking impression. This factory greatly emphasizes preserving and developing China’s rich craftsmanship traditions. In creating high-quality works of art, the factory successfully blends filigree artistry with modern technologies, demonstrating a seamless fusion of historical heritage and contemporary innovation.

Filigree Art: An Ancient Heritage

Filigree is one of China’s traditional art forms, with a history spanning several thousand years. This intricate craft involves creating complex patterns and delicate details using metal wire. Precious metals are commonly used in this technique, which is widely applied in jewelry making and interior design. Filigree art is considered a unique symbol of Chinese culture and a national treasure.

The Uniqueness of Dongfang Yizhen Factory

The Dongfang Yizhen Filigree Inlay Factory preserves ancient filigree techniques while actively incorporating modern design and technological innovations into production. Recognized as one of the leading centers of filigree art in China, the factory has received numerous national and international awards.

The factory’s products are crafted from high-quality materials, including precious metals such as gold and silver and rare gemstones. Skilled artisans meticulously create intricate patterns by hand, ensuring each piece is unique and a true masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Integration of New Technologies

Alongside traditional craftsmanship, the factory successfully integrates modern technologies. Computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D modeling enable the creation of more precise and intricate filigree structures. Additionally, new processing techniques enhance the durability of filigree products, ensuring they meet market demands.

Diverse Product Range

The factory produces a wide variety of items, including jewelry (necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets), home decor (vases, figurines), and art pieces (exclusive interior design projects).

These products are crafted not only for the domestic market but also for international distribution.

Special programs have been established to train the younger generation in traditional craftsmanship, ensuring the continuity of this unique art form. The factory is recognized not only in China but also internationally. Its products have been showcased at numerous international exhibitions and are in high demand worldwide.
