Necklace with handmade silver pendant with etched surface and wrapped wire (N75)

This beautiful pendant was handmade in 95% silver; it is oval shape, hollow inside (it is made from two identical silver concave form sheets, that were soldered together and the surface was then treated to obtain the so called "cat fur" etching effect. We have then applied a fine silver wire in the middle of the pendant. The necklace is in sterling silver 1mm round profile snake chain type and contrasts nicely with the handmade feel of the pendant. It closes with a spring ring closure. It is modern, simple, lightweight, suitable for any occasion. All our silver jewelry is made in 95-98 % silver by the Karen hill-tribe silversmiths. 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. It comes with 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.
