Sterling medallions reveal intricate geometric patterns and a stylized flower that derive from Thailand's hill tribes. Presented by Achara, these exquisite silver earrings are crafted by hand.
.925 Sterling silver
Achara is not only a talented jewelry artisan but is also a kind, dedicated entrepreneur. Her workshop has several full-time workers, and she provides work for a number of part-time silversmiths. Her part time collaborators are hill tribe artisans who struggle to survive. To ensure that these artisans have enough income to live on; Achara continually orders their silverwork and pays for it in advance. She does this even though she may have no orders for their work at the time. She is able to do this because of her Novica customers who provide a stable, steady income for her workshop.
Achara's workshop uses traditional silversmithing techniques to produce centuries-old designs as well as contemporary pieces inspired by Thai culture. Many artisans have been trained in her workshop. They learn not only traditional jewelry making but also how to apply modern quality control standards.
Achara's children are of university age. She currently pays for her daughter's higher education and, next year, she will also pay for her son's.
The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.
Achara received the SMEs Speed Up Award from Thailand's Department of Industrial Promotion.
In 2017, Achara received the Chiangmai Top Ten Award for culture.

I received an email for a $10 off coupon if I write a review! Beautiful earrings that will go with anything. Only complaint is that they are a little heavy. They're just the right length to wear day or night.

My favorite kind of earrings. Would love to buy more in this style, different shape, maybe a little smaller.

These earrings are beautiful, with lovely engraved patterns and detail. I would like to see them made in a smaller, lighter-weight size, as well. Fine craftsmanship!
