Karen Hill Tribe Fine Silver Beads

My Karen Hill Tribe vendor practices fair trade. The silver is 99.9% pure (solder, if used, can bring the silver content to 95-99%) as opposed to sterling silver which is 92.5% silver. Made by traditional methods in the homes of the families that pass the skill down through the generations.

Fine silver tarnishes slower than sterling due to the lower copper content. Due to the handmade aspect sizes can vary slightly.
