We made this piece out of a single piece of long silver wire, by manipulating the surface with streak- hammering technique in order to create repetitive, unevenly applied geometrical pattern on the front of the ring, whereas inside and the back is plain. We have used a 1 mm thick square profile silver wire and worked the surface with fast, heavy strikes by using the narrow side of the hammer. The wire was then wrapped 10 times and soldered finely at the back to create the final shape of the ring. It is a modern piece of jewelry, visually striking thanks to its hammered pattern, suitable for women and men.
We can make these rings and have them shipped in about 2-3 weeks after ordering. We usually make sizes 5-9; please let us know before ordering for bigger sizes.
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.
Height of the ring: 12-13 mm, thickness of the wire 0.9 mm, weight 12g
