Thai Karen simple open bangle with etched texture in half-round silver wire profile -small (B0064A)

This handmade silver bangle is made from half-round silver wire profile. The wire that we used is 3.5 mm thick, full profile, and 4mm wide and is etched on the outer surface with the so-called "cat-fur scratch" technique that is often used by the Thai Karen silversmiths. Its simplicity, etched surface and its weight make it a classy, stand-out kind of piece. We also made a slightly wider, "male" version (double the width and the weight), that looks very nice when combined or as a couple bracelet. It can fit most wrists as it is slightly adjustable. All our silver products are created in 95-98% Silver which is typical of the Thai Karen hill-tribe artisans, who have been using traditional tools and techniques for centuries. 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 bracelet comes with a traditional Thai package that can be a lovely gift or just simply jewelry storage. We send all our packages with tracking number for safer shipping.
