These
earrings have two shapes of
carnelian beads that
alternate with silver beads
and finish with an etched
silver Surin bead. .925
silver grade. The earrings
hang 2 inches from Sterling
silver hooks.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.
