Created by skilled artisans, each cloisonné bead can take up to four hours to produce. Dozens of tiny cells are arranged on the bead's surface, filled with enamel color, and fired. Then each bead is polished, revealing intricate and beautiful designs.

Hill Tribes silver... limitless design potential! Incredible silver beads and findings created completely by hand in the remote mountain areas of Thailand. Made using centuries-old, traditional methods in distinctive Hill Tribes styling. These are made of a higher purity than 92.5% sterling silver. Because the actual range is 95-99% purity, these products are softer, have a whiter color and will not tarnish as readily as sterling silver. As these are wrought by hand, the sizes may vary slightly.
