Two
strands of deep red,
slightly-graduated garnets
alternating with sets of 3
tiny silver beads accented
with etched Surin beads make
up these stunning earrings.
Silver is .925 grade. The
beads hang 2 inches from the
Sterling silver earring
findings.Silversmiths in
Surin, northeastern Thailand
use simple tools to create
distinctive beads from pure
silver. The decorative
patterns are hand-etched
onto the surface of each
bead. This painstaking
intricate process, from the
centuries-old Khmer Angkor
kingdom , survives in only
one small community.
