"Karen Silver" refers to high-purity silver (95-99% purity) silver products traditionally made by the Karen people, an ethnic minority living in the mountainous regions of northern Thailand and Myanmar. 【Features of Karen Silver】 1. High-Purity Silver (95-99%) General silver accessories (sterling silver) are 92.5% (SV925), but Karen Silver is characterized by its higher purity. Due to its high purity, it is slightly softer and suitable for hand-engraving. 2. Handmade Warmth Karen artisans engrave and pattern each piece by hand, and the individual differences and unique character that are not found in machine-made products are attractive. The patterns often feature traditional **ethnic patterns and natural motifs (sun, swirls, plants, animals, etc.)**. 3. Matte and Rustic Texture Because of its high purity, it has a calm luster and soft shine rather than being shiny. By using it for a long time, you can enjoy the **natural changes in texture (aging)**. 4. Ethnic and Spiritual Elements For the Karen people, silver is a symbol of warding off evil and good luck. The decorations often contain the meaning of prayer. 【Advantages of High-Purity Silver】 1. Less likely to cause metal allergies Because there are few impurities, it is gentle on the skin and less likely to cause allergies. 2. Less likely to tarnish Because there are few additives such as copper, it is less likely to blacken than general SV925. However, it does not mean that it will not tarnish at all, and it will gradually change due to sulfur components in the air. 3. Soft and easy to process Because artisans can hand-carve delicate designs, delicate patterns can be expressed. 4. Unique shine and texture It has a soft luster and warmth unique to pure silver, and the traces of handwork are beautifully reflected.
