Handmade textured silver square studs (E0171)

These square stud earrings were handcrafted from 95% silver that has been treated on the surface in order to obtain patterned texture on the surface. The edges are beveled to reduce borders to slightly irregular slope. They are striking because of the texture and size, as well as the handmade feel that they express. It is a unique piece as we cannot reproduce another pair that would look the same. 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. Size: 30x30mm, weight: 10.54 gManufacturing location(s)/process(es)Lamphun, Thailand
