This beautiful necklace is made of 27 handmade oval loops, each interlocked to another and each slightly different in shape and size. It has no hook as it is a continuous large chain, but with a very organic feel. The loops were created from a square-profile 2 mm silver wire that was etched on the surface.
We have a similar style bracelet and earrings in our shop.
We create our products 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 necklace comes with a handmade bamboo-weaved box - 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.
