A Karen Hill Tribe Silver Hammered Rose Pendant measuring 34mm, which is actually 97 to 99% silver, unlike sterling that is 92.5% silver is the centerpiece of this gorgeous necklace.   There are  also included four large matching 8 x 17mm Hill Tribe Hammered Lentil Beads. Beautiful coral colored 8mm and 4mm Swarovski Crystal Pearls will brighten your day with its lively color. Interspersed throughout the necklace are 5mm sterling hammered beads and 3mm Bali Sterling Nugget beads. To complete the 22" necklace, I added a large gorgeous 24mm Karen Hill hammered toggle clasp. The matching 2 1/8" dangle earrings are hung on Sterling Silver Fancy hammered earring hooks. There is definitely a cohesive theme present here with the matching components that are very rich looking. The silver content of the components is high and will not tarnish as quickly as sterling silver.

KAREN HILL TRIBE SILVER contains 97-99% pure silver - higher than sterling silver's 92.5%! Higher silver content results in natural, lustrous texture and color and will not tarnish as readily as sterling silver. High-content silver is softer and easier to shape into beautiful, ornate styles using silversmith techniques passed down through generations. Each piece has been individually handcrafted by skilled craftsmen from the native Karen Hill Tribe of Northern Thailand, thus maintaining its uniqueness. No two samples are exactly alike, in contrast to mass-produced jewelry.

BALI SILVER is sterling silver made on the island of Bali, in Indonesia in the Indian Ocean. The Balinese are highly skilled silversmiths, known for their granulation and wirework decoration.
