About Hill Tribe Silver
In some of my pieces I incorporate handmade beads from The Karen Hill Tribe of Northern Thailand, particularly their hand faceted beads. They are the perfect elements to accent certain designs. These craftspeople use traditional tribal methods passed down from generation to generation using fine silver content of 95-99%. They face a variety of problems including poverty, disease and lack of opportunity. The purchase of the components to create jewelry containing Hill Tribe Silver helps support this tribe.
