Christmas Star Thai Silver Hook Earring (E0089)

These Christmas star earrings are handmade by Thai artisans in 98% pure silver. The shapes are cut from a silver leaf and welded one to another. The surface is then treated with the so-called "Cat Fur" etching technique in order to obtain scratched texture. We also have a matching star-pendant necklace in our shop. In case it's not in stock it can be produced in 2 weeks. Our products are hand crafted in 98% Silver by Thai Karen hill-tribe artisans by means of traditional tools and techniques. 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.
