Hill Tribe Silver comes from small villages in the Thai highlands and are 99.9% silver, as opposed to the 92.5% silver content of tradition sterling. Entire families participate in this cottage industry of handcrafted silver and it’s growing popularity has helped nearly eliminate the illicit opium trade in the region as silver production proves a much more reliable and legal means of support.

These are the three single necks from the gold colored 3-tiered necklace from March. Unlike that piece, these are all the same length (36”) and may be purchased individually. The dark colored 3-tiered necklace from October also has 36” singles from it available and we also designed nearly a dozen others with varying chains and pendants that are excellent for layering. The first neck features a gold pearl with aged rhinestone spacer and aged rhinestone ball on filigree chain while the 2nd has a vintage “swirl” bead above a silver Ming pearl and separated by an aged rhinestone rondelle. Last but not least is 7-3GCHN-1CO45 which features a large faceted blue agate stone and a vintage fluted bead on gold box chain.
