HILL TRIBE SILVER -  11 FLOWER SHAPED BEADS

PATTERN IS ON ALL SIDES OF THE BEAD

EACH HILL TRIBE SILVER BEAD OR PENDANT IS MADE BY HAND BY THE KAREN TRIBES THAT LIVE IN THE HILLY REGIONS OF THAILAND.  EACH TRIBE HAS THEIR OWN DESIGNS.  THEY DO NO CASTING, BUT CREATE EACH ITEM USING CENTURIES OLD METHODS THAT HAVE BEEN PASSED DOWN FOR GENERATIONS. 

HILL TRIBE SILVER IS MADE OF A HIGHER PURITY OF SILVER - 95% TO 99%.  IT IS THEREFORE A LITTLE SOFTER, AND OF THE LIGHTER COLOR THAN STERLING SILVER.  IT DOES NOT TARNISH AS QUICKLY AS STERLING, AND IF KEPT SEALED IN A SMALL PLASTIC BACK WHEN NOT IN  USE, THEY WILL STAY FREE OF ANY TARNISH.  SHOULD THEY NEED SOME POLISHING, SIMPLY USE THE SAME TYPE OF CLOTH AS FOR STERLING. IT HAS ALSO BEEN RECOMMEND TO CLEAN SILVER WITH LIME JUICE.

PLEASE NOTE: ANY DARK AREAS ON THE SURFACE OF THE BEAD ARE DUE TO THE REFLECTION OF THE CAMERA. USED TO TAKE THE IMAGE. ITEM  IS PURE SILVER TONE THROUGHOUT THE PIECE.

APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS: 12.50mm in length X 5mm
