These amazing little beads are in the same way rolled paper beads are made from a long pointy triangle. In this case it's triangle cut from a sheet of thin, fine silver that has already been stamped with designs to create even more texture.
Love these for earrings, or delicate bracelets or necklaces short and long.
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.
Finer silver tarnishes less than sterling, but adding a polishing cloth to your silver purchases is always a good idea. Regular gentle rubbing will keep the silver from needing to be cleaned with harsh chemicals.
