Beautiful, pure silver earrings, handmade with love by Karen Tribe silversmiths in northern Thailand. *these earrings were made to open outwards if necessary: never open upwards* Especially prized for its shine and craftsmanship, Karen Hill Tribe jewelry is made using only 98% silver or higher. Compared to the 92.5% silver of sterling, this higher grade silver has a beautiful velvety soft shine. It is also softer, which makes it easier for the silversmiths to carve and shape. This also gives our Artisan Silver Round Hoop Earrings, Traditional Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings With Ear Wire, Sterling Silver Hoop Plug Earring, Silver Spiral Jewelry For Festivals, Artisan Handmade Silver Hoop Earrings, Handmade Spiral Silver Hoop Earrings, Silver Spiral Handmade Hoop Earrings, Artisan Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings For Festivals, Artisan Silver Hoop Earrings For Festival
