Thailand?s unique kanok flowers blossom in the argent glow of the crescent moon that adorns this necklace.

Gradually everyone embraced the beauty of sterling silver items giving birth to a strong silversmith trade in Thailand, enhanced by the belief that silver is the augur of good luck. Regal and exotic, this sterling silver (.925)necklace is an accessory of captivating beauty. Intha describes the delicate and elaborate process involved in making this piece, ?The silver alloy is melted down and poured into a terracotta container. When the silver has set the artisan beats it with hammers into a sheet and cuts it into the desired shape. Then he applies a coat of an oil and pitch mixture on a wooden surface where he fixes the sheet before to engrave it with a traditional vegetal pattern called kanok. Once engraved he heats the piece to remove the pitch and places it into a boiling acid bath to rinse out the impurities. Little rings are soldered to the structure. Then the artisan solders little balls with little rings and shapes a thin sheet into little cones. Very thin threads are slowly coiled over the top of the cones and the whole is linked into the dangling design. Then a flexible cord, which has been braided out of long strings, is attached to the completed item and an S clasp is inserted to one ring at one end for fastening. The necklace is slightly washed in a tamarind solution before being dried and polished. Finally the artisan applies a secret recipe of his own to give the necklace a burnished finish.?
