Handmade silver knot stud earrings with streaks (E0170)

We created these earrings in 95%silver from a 3 mm wide silver strip and added the streaks with fast blows of the narrow part of the straight-peen hammer. The silver "ribbon" was then folded into a knot-style shape where one end is left longer than the other. Our brand logo "Stories" was stamped on the back side of the earring. The posts and stoppers are in sterling silver. All our silver 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. Each products is handmade and individual as no two pieces can be recreated to be exactly the same. The product comes in a traditional Thai packaging 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: 7x12mm, weight: 1.56gManufacturing location(s)/process(es)Lamphun, Thailand
