This silver bead looks as if two little pyramids were joined seamlessly at their bases. The holes are located at the top of each pyramid, ready for a silver wire or other stringing material of your choice. This is an innovative shape that will add reflection and geometry to your jewelry designs. The people at the Karen Hill Tribe in northern Thailand made this bead and many others we have in stock. They use traditional tribal methods passed down from generation to generation. Purchasing these Thai beads helps sustain a traditional craft and provides the Karen people with a reliable source of income. The silver content in our Hill Tribes silver beads and pendants is typically 95-99%, even higher than sterling (92.5%). This higher silver content is softer and therefore easier to shape into all the unique and wonderful styles. On close inspection you will notice that no two pieces are exactly alike, attesting to the handmade nature of these beautiful pieces.
