Patterned Silver Beads and Irregular three color pearls necklace (N0004b)

This handmade necklace is crafted from handcrafted faceted silver grains and irregular pearl beads, together with 5 handmade round and square shape silver pieces that have been stamped with a star pattern on the surface. The pearls are in 3 colors: off-white, grey and light pink. The necklace has no hook as it is long enough to wear it overhead. All silver parts are handmade by the Karen hill-tribe silversmiths. The Karen are a group of ethnic peoples who reside primarily in southern and southeastern Burma and in northern and north-eastern Thailand. Thai and Burmese hill tribes can be traced back to the 12th century when they are said to have originated from Tibet. With a higher silver content than sterling silver, Karen silver has a weight, bright satin color and feel, all of its own. Every piece is handmade and individual. The product comes with Thai traditional packaging and includes tracking number for safer shipping. Length: 82 cm Weight: 25 g
