Hilltribe silver is made in Thailand by various hill tribes living in the mountainous north of the country. The silver they use is very pure, typically 95-99%, much higher than sterling silver (92.5%). This higher silver content is softer and therefore easier to shape into all the unique and wonderful styles and intricate tiny beads.
On close inspection you will see that no two pieces are exactly alike, that's because it's all handmade using techniques and tools that have been passed down through the generations.
Hill Tribe silver is a beautiful addition to any jewellery creation and your purchases will help sustain traditional art and crafts in this remote area, providing the Thai hill tribe people with a reliable, steady source of income.
