Surin silver beads accented
by tubular onyx and round
silver beads are the
centerpiece of these
stunning earrings The silver
is .925 grade silver. The
earrings hang 1.5 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.
