The Thai Hill Tribe Silver from Thailand is considered one of a kind silver jewelry. Its stylish and rough-but-trendy design created by indigenous people in the northern part of Thailand made Hill Tribe Silver the most sought after silver jewelry in the Northern America and Europe.

Hill Tribe Silver is made in northern Thailand using traditional tribal processes passed down from generation to generation. The silver content in our Hill Tribes Silver beads and pendants are typically 95-99% pure silver, much higher than sterling silver which is 92.5%. This higher silver content makes the pieces softer and easier to shape into all the unique and wonderful styles and forms. Oxidation, hammer marks, textures, and slight design variances are part of the allure of these distinctive pieces.

Usually, Hill Tribe Silver goes through an oxidation process which makes the piece darker, then it gets polished to leave the darkened coloring only in the grooves of the item, which allows tiny details and patterns to stand out.

Hill Tribe Silver ornaments are 100% hand-crafted. If you take a look at the Hill Tribe Silver, you’ll see there is no two pieces alike. Each handmade ornament is a unique masterpiece often engraved with plant, animal, or geometric designs.

Silver in Hill Tribe Silver we have at DistinQue.com is 99.9% (100%) Pure Fine Silver. There is no mixing and no added ingredients. It is softer than sterling silver but will not tarnish as quickly if worn frequently.
