Thai silver, big, triangle cross section tapered ovals in traditional basketweave patters, 56mm long by 23mm diameter at the center.
These are hefty beads and because Thai silver is priced by weight, the price is also hefty, but these beads are guaranteed to generate excitement in your jewelry. Pair them with some big gemstones, organic, or glass beads for a real showpiece or use one as a centerpiece in a long delicate strand with this bead as the focal and a big tassel (like FIM-25) flowing from it. Sure to please!
I was delighted on my most recent trip to Thailand in October, to find some great new shapes, both flat and three dimensional for this basketweave and similar women collections. Supplies are limited and silver prices are rising so don't delay.
Both Thailand and Indonesia have exquisite bead and fiber traditions and I love it even more when they overlap!
Our Thai silver (aka Hill Tribe) is made by Karen smiths and other ethnic groups living in villages in the highlands of the Golden Triangle near Chiang Mai. In addition to the beautiful soft glow of the fine silver, the work is meticulous, often featuring detailed stamped or etched designs in traditional, as well as contemporary, shapes and patterns.
