Handmade silver interlocked oval loops necklace (N0073)

This beautiful necklace is made of 27 handmade oval loops, each interlocked to another and each slightly different in shape and size. It has no hook as it is a continuous large chain, but with a very organic feel. The loops were created from a square-profile 2 mm silver wire that was etched on the surface. We have a similar style bracelet and earrings in our shop. We create our products 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. The necklace comes with a handmade bamboo-weaved box - a traditional Thai package - that can be a lovely gift or just simply jewelry storage. We send all our packages with tracking number for safer shipping.
