One long strand of low-sheen Hill Tribe Silver square, faceted roundell, and tiny scored beads are strung on sturdy waxed cotton cord and finished with silver button on one end, and double loop on the other, allowing for adjustable length. Total length is 13.75 inches, which can be wound twice around to fit a 6.5” to 6.75” wrist, or worn as a choker (make sure to measure your neck if you would like this as a choker). This fashioned in the classic Hill Tribe style, with its hand-wrought details, hand-stamped patterns, antiqued and low-sheen finish.
Thai Hill Tribe Silver has a higher silver content than sterling (92.5%), and is typically 95 - 99% pure silver. The higher silver content makes the silver slightly softer and therefore, easier to pound and shape.
If you want your jewelry to last, remember the old saying: “Jewelry should be the last thing you put on, and the first thing you remove”.
Keep it clean by keeping it away from chemicals, lotions, perfumes, excessive humidity, and protect from heavy, hard wearing activities such as sports, heavy work, or vigorous exercise. The main culprits that shorten the life of your jewelry are: never taking it off, wearing it while sleeping, wearing it in hot tubs and pools, and while playing sports. Store in an airtight container such as jewelry box or zip lock baggie while not wearing. When storing long term, make sure to clean and dry thoroughly before storing.
