Criss cross handmade wraparound silver ring with hammered texture (R0031)

The ring is made of a single piece of long silver wire that is chiselled on the surface in order to create unevenly applied geometrical pattern all around the outer surface of the ring, whereas the inside is plain. We have used a 2mm thick silver wire with square profile and manipulated the surface with fast, sharp strikes on different angles by using the narrow side of a small chisel tool. The wire was then wrapped 5 times, criss crossing on the front and soldered finely (the connection is hardly visible) at the back to create the final shape of the ring. It is a modern piece of jewelry, visually striking thanks to its chiselled pattern, lightweight and comfortable to wear. We can make this ring and have it shipped in about 2-3 weeks after ordering. We usually make sizes 5-9.5; please let us know before ordering for smaller, bigger or in-between sizes. PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO TELL US YOUR SIZE WHEN ORDERING. Our products are hand crafted in 95-98% Silver by Thai Karen hill-tribe artisans. 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 product comes in a lovely handmade Thai bamboo-weaved box and includes tracking number for safer shipping. By purchasing this product, you contribute directly to maintain and support local arts and crafts in Thailand. height of the ring: 9mm weight: approx. 6.5 g
