4.7 " W x 1.6 " H Weight: 30 grams -Sterling silver Ships from NOVICA Office in Thailand NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. This exceptional silver hairpin, handcrafted by Thiva Boonnak, features a floral pattern. The raw silver originates from Burmese silver mines, notorious for producing unmatched quality. The silver is melted down and poured carefully into a crafted mould of solid clay and then left to harden for a period of 20-30 minutes. When the silver has set and the mould discarded, Thiva designs a painstaking and intricate floral pattern. For this piece Thiva used 92.5% pure silver. Handmade by Thiva Boonnak Thiva Boonnak speaks reflectively of her art amidst the scattered tools and the pieces in progress that fill her family`s old-fashioned workshop. "Our region`s designs are all special. Each one is unique and grandiose." Her soft words echo the proud sentiments passed on by her family generations before her. Thiva Boonnak tells how her father taught her and her brothers the silversmith craft, and how he showed them not only the technical, intricate skills, but also transmitted the smith`s labor of love. With such passion flowing from their hearts to their hands it is not difficult to understand why the work of Thiva Boonnak`s family is so highly esteemed in Thailand. The Boonnak`s home witnessed the birth of silver crafting in Thailand at the turn of the 20th century. At that point, King Chulalongkorn was patron of the arts and settled Burmese craftsmen the area. They shared the secrets of their ancient and intricate craft, which the Boonnak family has since elevated to its highest plateau.
