More on Thai Silver

Thai Silver is 97-99% pure Silver and is suffused with a warm glow. High-content silver is softer and easier to shape into beautiful, ornate styles. Sterling Silver is 92.5% silver, thus the very recognizable .925 hallmark. Sterling is usually alloyed with Copper to give it enough strength for large objects, while maintaining a high precious metal content.

I use silver from the Karen Hill Tribe of Northern Thailand. Each piece has been individually handcrafted by skilled craftsmen, thus maintaining its uniqueness. No two samples are exactly alike. Thai silver pieces are amazing works of art, all made by hand, and little or no machinery. Beads are hammered and etched, and others are sculpted into shapes, often emulating objects from nature such as ladybugs, butterflies, fish, ocean shells, leaves, and many different types of flowers. Not only do Thai silver creations enhance jewelry, they are frequently the focal point of a piece of jewelry.

Thai silver has a completely different look than Sterling Silver and adds a different character to a piece of jewelry. It can be more expensive than Sterling Silver as it is imported. Thai silver is very easy to care for. No chemical cleaners are necessary. Just dip a soft cloth into some Lime juice and buff gently to bring back the warm patina of this silver.
