Silver Earrings

The Karen tribal minority who live in the northwestern hills of Thailand has long created world-renowned silver jewelry. The ethnic motifs and matte finish of the traditional silver often reflect the silversmiths' affinity with nature that is skillfully adapted for contemporary lifestyles. These earrings have a hand-etched silver circle and are 0.5 inches long from the silver findings.
