Handmade wide band scratched surface silver ring (R0036)

This wide-band ring is slightly concave in profile (bracket-shape, so not full profile like a donut) and is therefore quite lightweight despite the looks. The surface is etched with the so-called "cat fur" scratching technique that is typically used by the Karen hill tribe silversmiths. Our products are hand crafted in 98% Silver by Thai Karen hill-tribe artisans. 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 shape of the base is made from 1mm thick silver leaf and is 9mm high. The ring is simple and modern, suitable for everyday use, for both men and women. We can make this ring and have it shipped in about 2 weeks after ordering.
