Electroformed sterling silver beads are created through an intricate process that begins with a bead made of wax. The wax bead is then immersed in a solution that electrically forms pure silver over it. The next step burns out the wax, leaving a hollow, sterling silver formation. The sterling silver is then highly polished. The result is an incredibly lightweight sterling silver bead.

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.
