Fusion Beads carries silver flower and fruit charms handmade by the Karen Hill Tribe of northern Thailand. These craftspeople use traditional tribal methods passed down from generation to generation. The silver content of Thai Hill Tribe flower beads and pendants is typically 95-99% silver -- higher than sterling (92.5%). The higher silver content makes the metal softer and therefore easier for Hill Tribe craftspeople to stamp and shape into distinctive, one-of-a-kind designs that have become the unique trademark of Thai silver.
