These earrings are a part of our latest collection, inspired by "scribbles". They are made of a continuous silver wire that was wrapped and curved to create the final shapes, in an asymmetrical way so the one earring is made as a curved, organic loop and the other is shaped randomly with a wrapped and curved wire.
They were created from a square-profile 2 mm silver wire, in 95%silver, that was etched on the surface to give it a more handmade, artisan-crafted feel. The posts and stoppers are in sterling silver.
In the same collection there are three more earring designs, created in a similar way.
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 earrings come 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.
