Leather necklace with handmade silver tube bead with textured surface (N0097A)

This necklace consists in handmade silver square-profile tube bead, textured on surface with various techniques before being folded into the final shape. It is applied on a round-profile dark or light brown faux-leather string that closes with a simple handmade silver conical shape hook. The silver tube piece was made of a 1.5 mm thick silver strip, that was passed into rolling mill together with sand paper so that it left a beautifully embossed texture on one side of the surface of silver. The other half was etched with the so-called "cat-fur" scratching technique, typical of the Thai Karen silversmiths. Our products are made of 95% silver; higher silver content contributes to a distinct look and feel of the product, unique to Karen hill tribe silver - it has a different feel, shine and bright satin color that contrasts beautifully with the dark leather necklace. We also have a matching bracelet in our shop available in both dark or light leather color. The necklace comes with a handmade traditional Thai packaging and we always include a tracking number for all our packages. Length of the necklace: 45cm Pendants are about 4 cm x 0.8 cmManufacturing location(s)/process(es)Lamphun, Thailand
