Thai silver, large, 4-sided oval beads 65mm x18mm (For a larger, similar version see ASM-934)
Made of interwoven strips of fine silver in a traditional basketweave patters
I was delighted on my most recent trip to Thailand in October, to find some exciting new shapes, both flat and three dimensional, for this basketweave collection. 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.
