Handmade leaf-shape long dangle silver earrings (E0215)

These long earrings are created from a 7cm long silver stem that end with two folded silver leaves, both with hammered surface, but one of the leaves is turned inside-out so that the plain surface side of the leaf is showing. The earrings close with a silver push-back butterfly. The earrings are a part of our “leaf” collection. All the leaves are hand-cut from a thin silver sheet and hammered on surface to create leaf grain pattern. Leaves are then soldered one to another to create the final shape of the earring. We created several different earrings, as well as brooches in the same series. 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. We send all our packages with tracking number for safer shipping. Size of the leaves: 3 x 3 cm , silver stem length 7 cm, total length of the earring: 10 cm Weight: 9.2 g
