Ethnic earrings

Ethnic earrings

These ethnic sterling silver earrings are entirely handmade. The shape is reminiscent of a musical key. The round design was made from a single piece of solid silver, which was hammered with finesse. An artisanal jewel, made by a craftsman from the Karen tribes and from fair trade.

925 silver, the material of your earrings

The silver used to make jewelry cannot be 100% pure because it would be too soft. In order to be able to work it, we add one or more alloying metals to it, copper most of the time. Silver jewelry, in Europe and in most countries of the world, is 925 silver. It is 1st grade silver, it has a minimum content of 92,5%. This is also called sterling silver, from the English Sterling Silver 925. Sterling silver, for example, is made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Sterling silver has been a category of silver for jewelry in many countries since the 14th century.

Thai money is often purer than the world standard. It often contains 95 at 98% money, which allows a different job of money. Because purer silver is softer and more malleable, Thai silver jewelry is usually thicker.

Fair trade

Our jewelry is sold in accordance with the Fair Trade Charter. Jewelery is created to accompany the hard work of small workshops, women's groups, or the work of local artists from developing countries. Our goal is to provide work in less favored areas than ours and to improve the lives of artists and their families.

Each workshop has been visited, to check the working conditions, the quality of life and the fair wages of the craftsmen. A personal relationship has been established with each craftsman, sharing countless teas and spending hours discussing, as it should be in Asian countries. Check our craftmen presentation video .
