Cananga flower handmade silver earring (E0191)

The inspiration for these elegant silver stud earrings come from the shape of the fragrant cananga flower, commonly called Ylang-ylang in English. They are entirely handmade from 95% silver and are very lightweight and comfortable to wear. The surface was etched with the so-called cat-fur technique, typically used by Thai Karen silversmiths. 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 traditional Thai packaging and includes tracking number for safer shipping. Length: 37x23x15 mm, weight 7.5 g
