SILVER GRADING AND SILVER JEWELRY PRODUCTION

Silver is graded by its fineness. There are basically two grades of silver, 999 and 925. 999 is termed fine silver, as, at 99.9% silver, it is as pure as it gets. This is the silver used for bullion bars and investment. Being too soft for most practical purposes, it is made into an alloy. The result is called sterling silver, or 925 silver, as it is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals such as copper. The alloy actually enhances the properties of the silver, making it more durable while leaving it ductile. 925 sterling silver is the standard used for making silverware and silver jewelry. When fine silver is used in jewelry manufacture, such as in hilltribe silver, the solder used forms an alloy with the silver, so the finished product may be between 95% and 99% pure, but it is still classed as fine silver.

SHIVA EYE

Shiva Eye is an organic gem. It is the natural protective door of the shell of the turban snail, a mollusk that inhabits reef crevices and tidal pools in many parts of the world, notably the Indo-Pacific. When preyed upon, by rock crabs, otters and some species of starfish, the mollusk will withdraw into its shell and turn its 'eye' toward the attacker in the hope of warding it off. The eye resembles the powerful third eye of Lord Shiva which was opened to end illusion and save the world, according to Hindu mythology.

As Shiva Eye, or Shiva's Eye shell, as it is called in Asia, is found in many of the world's seas, it goes by a host of different names according to local lore and language: Buddha Eye, Cat's Eye, Money of Mermaids, Sea Eye, and Naxos Eye, to name a few. Whatever the name, there is a legend behind it that attests to the miracle power of this eye. Along with the variety of names, there is a diversity of size and color. Shiva Eyes found in Tahiti can be quite large, some 4 inches across; those from southern Thailand are noted more for their intense natural coloring.

When the turban snail nears the end of its natural life, the protective eye drops away to the sea bed, from where it can be collected by diving, usually to a depth of 60 feet or so. This sought-after treasure is characterized by a spiral; the shape and colors of the spiral being unique from shell to shell, but often in varying shades of red, orange, green and blue, depending on each particular sea snail's diet (they feed on algae of various colors). The structure and rarity of color are what count in deciding the quality of each eye. The background to the spiral is pearly white, as, just like a natural pearl, Shiva Eyes are made up of calcium.
The Shiva Eye is in fact the crystal mineral aragonite, a natural gemstone.

Due to its reputed healing and protective properties (the same crystal mineral is present in the soothing waters of spas and hot springs) Shiva Eye is best worn next to the skin, in a bracelet, in a ring, as earrings or a necklace; some even wear it as an amulet or carry it as a lucky stone or charm.



Being a natural gem, the Shiva Eye needs to be carefully polished to bring out its natural beauty, and then set appropriately to complement its individual qualities. A sterling silver setting is ideal since the cool of the silver provides a perfect accompaniment to the warm tropical hues of the Shiva Eye.

NATURAL HANDMADE BEAD JEWELRY

Though usually thought of as being made of precious metals and gems, jewelry can in fact refer to any object used to adorn the body or clothing, and beads were probably the very first form of jewelry. Early humans handcrafted beads from natural materials found in their environment, most likely for utilitarian purposes such as fastening clothing.


Beads from archeological excavations were found to be handmade from wood, natural animal substances such as bone, claws, teeth, ivory and shell, and also soft stone. Later, in ancient Egyptian and Greek and Roman times, jewelers hand carved increasingly intricate and decorative beads, worn as belts and amulets. Beads then took on value as symbols of status and wealth. The practical use for the bead as a fastener was taken over by the clasp and later the button.


A reminder of the bead's original use survives today in the wood or horn toggles used as fastenings for the duffel coat, and the hardwood and ivory ones made for the Japanese kimono, some of which are works of art and collector's items. Bead sizes range from the palm-of-the-hand-sized decorative toggles to the so-called seed beads that can be smaller than a grain of rice. Shapes of natural beads can range from the typical smooth and rounded through cylindrical as in the natural shape of bamboo beads.

Wood has remained a popular material for making bead necklaces and bracelets, especially. The soothing feel and aroma of beads of natural wood such as teak, rosewood, bamboo and palm wood makes for an item that needs only a linen cord to produce a fine adornment. The vast choice of size, natural color and design means that there is something to suit everyone's taste.


Beads, seed beads included, can be embellished with other organic components, gemstones, pearls and mother-of-pearl, for example, in an array of unique designs. Inexpensive, lightweight and durable, it is no wonder then that beads have stood the test of time to become items of artistry to be worn and treasured.

WHAT IS TRIBAL WOOD JEWELRY?

A body adornment that is at once natural, ethnic, organic and attractive.
Sold as either older, previously worn pieces or more usually nowadays as innovative new tribal designs that keep to their tradition, what was once the preserve of colorful ethnic groups has become the inexpensive choice of the young, the famous and the style-conscious.

Typical items include wooden tribal earrings, wood necklaces, wood pendants, wood bangles, beads, wood bracelets, plugs, and hoops. Thailand in particular is noted for its bamboo earrings, as well as its bracelets, necklaces and earrings finely crafted from coconut shell.

Designs can range from the traditional right through to the more modern reggae style. Best of all, the designs are so diverse that they are suitable for wearing with almost any style of clothing on any occasion. Such a variety of color, weight and shape makes tribal wood jewelry unique and ever stylish.

Woods used range from tamarind wood, bamboo, coconut shell, palm wood through to teak wood and rose wood. All, of course, have different qualities, colors and finishes, the designs and patterns reflecting and enhancing the individual beauty of each. The wood is polished to bring out the natural veneer, sometimes with natural oil to help seal the wood.

Wooden jewelry is generally light and easy to look after. A little regular cleaning is all that is needed, especially for those tribal wood items that are for piercing. A mild natural soap or a few drops of tea tree oil will do the job.

THE SPECIAL QUALITIES OF KAREN SILVER

Silver holds an important place in the life of the Karen people. Migrating from Tibet through Burma over the centuries, they have settled in the hills and mountains of northern Thailand, where they live close with nature.

The Karen have relatively few material possessions, but silver is their currency and their worldly wealth. It is collected and prized throughout their lives, used for dowries, and worn as an adornment and a symbol of status and prestige for its owner.

Karen silver is special in that it is 'fine' silver with a purity of up to 99.9% compared to 925 (92.5%) sterling silver. It has a color and feel all of its own, cool and satiny, it tarnishes less readily than other kinds of silver and can be kept white and shining by simply cleaning with lime juice.


Karen silversmiths have high status in their community and each family may be involved in the design and production of a host of fine individually handcrafted pieces.

Karen designs reflect the people's closeness to the land and water, with motifs inspired by plants, animals, flowers and the natural environment they inhabit. Each item is handmade throughout, rolled, shaped and engraved using traditional methods with the simplest of tools.

As each item is unique, there are literally thousands of designs: accessories such as rings, beads, bracelets, bangles, charms, spiral circle dangling earrings, ear hoops, toggles, clasps, strands, hairpins, hearts and pendants. Such is the variety of shapes and motifs that the piece may have a classic, contemporary or ethnic feel.

Of course, the intricate beauty of each piece makes it fine as a standalone accessory, but the design can be coupled with a suitable gemstone or the silver used as a setting.

Karen silver beads are probably the most popular item as they come in a wealth of sizes and can be made into necklaces and bracelets and sewn onto clothing to the wearer's individual taste.

HANDMADE STONE BEAD JEWELRY

It can be said that something retro is always in fashion, and now is the time for handmade
stone bead jewelry. Retro-inspired designs and new variations on vintage styles are popular items now.
Some of the gemstones used for natural bead necklaces, bracelets, finger rings, ear studs and earrings are:

Lava Stone Beads and Labradorite Beads Bracelet

LAVA STONE: this is real retro; the style originally of ancient Rome, classic but designed with a new look. Lava stone is  formed directly from the natural cooling of melted volcanic rock.
With their uniform color and elegant appearance, red, green purple, black or brown lava stone beads come in a great variety of shapes, round, oval, flat, or heart-shaped. Unique alone, but also combined with amethyst, turquoise and other stones in a complementary design.

Amethyst Ear Studs

AMETHYST: a quartz-like gemstone with a vitreous luster, found in light pink-purple, lilac and  deep violet-purple, this wine-stained gem's meaning from ancient Greek means 'sober or not drunk '. Makes a good combination with lava stone. Major sources are Austria, Brazil, Uruguay, Zambia, Canada, India, South Korea, some states of the USA and the Ural mountains.Once considered equally valuable alongside diamond, ruby, emerald and sapphire. More amethyst deposits discovered recently have made the price of this gem much lower. The most highly valued amethyst is inclusion-free and is a uniform, deep purple throughout.

Amethyst jewelry such as bracelets can be combined with other stones, but amethyst alone can be used as it comes in a variety of hues. Can be worn with formal and casual attire equally well.

 Lapis Lazuli Bracelet

LAPIS LAZULI: a dark blue stone with gold flecks, lapis was created millions of years ago, Major sources include Afghanistan, Egypt, Canada and Chile. It was one of the first

 Onyx Beads with Crystal Ball Bracelet

ONYX: another quartz-like gem, mined in Uruguay, India. Mexico, Brazil and Pakistan, onyx is the most affordable of the black gemstones. It has a smooth surface like marble. Its hardness and fine texture make it suitable for carving into various shapes.  Highly recognizable by the typically back and white zebra-like bands running through the stone, though more common are the stones with bands of reddish or brownish.hues.
Cut and polished smooth or as a bead, onyx is a fine stone for prayer beads, rosaries and worry beads. In stone bead jewelry it is particularly beautiful in combination with other stones, pearls especially.

Freshwater Pearl with Crystal Ball Bracelet

FRESHWATER PEARL: pearls organically nurtured in an ideal environment. Japan popularized culturing techniques some 100 years ago but now China is the biggest producer of fine-quality freshwater pearls. These pearls have greater variety of color and size than marine pearls, making for more varied handcrafted designs.
Perfect in any number of jewelry items either on their own or with other stone beads.

Mother of Pearl Shell Bracelet

MOTHER OF PEARL SHELL: the mineral nacre from inside an oyster or similar mollusk, secreted as a coating to protect its soft body. One design that shows off its qualities is as a pendant necklace with a waxed linen cord selected to complement the iridescent hues of the mother of pearl. In addition, this shell is designed for finger rings, bracelet and earrings.

Turquoise Beads Bracelet

TURQUOISE: the gem regarded as sacred by ancient cultures across the world.  Hardness and
richness of color are the criteria used to determine its quality. Turquoise can come in
shades of green-blue or light blue. The fewer veins of inclusion a turquoise stone contains,
the more valuable it is. Turquoise can be made into beads of all shapes and sizes. Pricing of the beads depends, as for pearls, on their size in millimetres.


SYNTHETIC TURQUOISE: a good, less costly alternative to natural turquoise. The pulverized
stone powder is resin-impregnated, and the result is a bead that compares well with the real
thing. The synthetic stone may also have more luster than the natural one.

Synthetic Coral Beads Bracelet

SYNTHETIC CORAL: now that coral reefs, the natural source of coral, have been steadily
depleted, this product serves to fill the demand. It is easy to take care of and it is
virtually indestructible. Beaded coral jewelry with a mixture of pearls or strung with
natural Shiva Eye shell makes a stylish bracelet, and coral earstuds set in silver bezels make for intriguing designs.

Pearls Grading and Quality

How are pearls graded?

Unlike with other gems such as diamonds, there is no sole, universal grading system for pearls. A jeweler or seller may, however, use one or more of the systems shown here to give an idea of the quality.

GRADING SYSTEMS: the most commonly and internationally used is the AAA-A scale, (AAA, AA and A) grading system. (Sometimes + is added to one of these to make an intermediate grading such as AA+ or A+. Some sellers use AAAA or AAA+ for individual, unmatched pearls.)

Pearls of AAA are recognized as gem-quality with flawless complexion, spherical shape, and intense luster. Even a single 'A' grade pearl will have good luster, be relatively smooth and fairly free of blemishes, and have a thin to medium nacre thickness.

There is also the so-called Tahitian system, which grades on an A to D scale. This system demands a nacre thickness of greater than 0.8mm.

Both of these grading systems focus primarily on the luster and surface quality of the pearl to determine its grade.

The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) has its own scale, the GIA trademarked '7 Pearl Value Factors': Pearl Size, Shape, Color, Nacre, Luster, Surface, and Matching.


Whatever the order the standards appear in, it is generally agreed that LUSTER is the most important factor in grading.
It is LUSTER that makes the pearl unique.
It is the pearl's radiant glow that comes from light reflecting off of the many layers of nacre.

The quality of the luster is related to the THICKNESS AND QUALITY OF THE NACRE.
The thicker the nacre and the thinner and the more numerous the layers of nacre in the pearl, the finer the luster and the more durable the pearl.

The SURFACE of the pearl is also a major factor. Smoothness and blemishes are very important in grading. No real pearl is absolutely smooth, and small blemishes can be ignored when the pearl has fine nacre and luster. Blemishes are less noticeable on pearls with higher luster.

SHAPE. Spherical pearls are the rarest; symmetrical ones, tear-drop shaped, for example, are still desirable, especially when well-matched. The more irregular, baroque ones are the least expensive usually, but are perfectly acceptable when mounted or set nicely. And a perfectly round pearl is very rare indeed. Since many non-spherical freshwater pearls have fabulous luster, roundness is not given as much value. Pearls with the best luster are better than pearls with with lesser luster but more
perfect roundness.

COLOR: A pearl's body color can be anywhere from white through gray, pink, gold, green, to black such as the Tahitian Black. Darker pearls range in color from dark bluish,
greenish, to peacock and multi-hued. The overtones are also important. A pearl whose body color is white (more expensive and sought-after) or cream may have subtle overtones of rose or pink, for example.

SIZE matters, too. Larger cultured pearls are rarer and more expensive. In particular, Akoya pearls over 7 millimeters become much more costly. Prices rise with each millimeter. The larger South Sea and Tahitian pearls increase dramatically in price with size: 100 or 200 percent with each millimeter.

MATCHING:  All of the above factors are important when matching the pearls in an item of jewelry. In a beaded strand the pearls usually graduate slowly and evenly in size, from the smallest at the back to the largest in the front. Pearls will not lay correctly if mismatched, and this reduces the aesthetics and the value of the piece.

Pearl For All

The natural pearl is one of the oldest known gems in the world and the only one produced inside a living being. Until just a hundred year ago, pearls were the preserve of aristocracy and royalty. And now, since sources of both freshwater and saltwater natural pearls have all but disappeared due to pollution and overfishing, the chances of finding a quality pearl in nature are literally a million to one.

Nowadays, pearls can be cultured in a natural controlled environment, either in sea water or fresh water. Though it may take years for a cultured pearl to develop fully, and the areas in which they can be cultivated are limited, they are no longer prohibitively expensive. The quality of freshwater pearls in particular is as fine as that of those cultivated in salt water and even rivals the natural pearl for iridescence and durability.

Natural handmade jewelry designs use the cultured freshwater pearl in a new collection featuring handmade necklaces, bracelets, earrings and earstuds in settings that accent the pearl's natural luster and appeal. In keeping with the trend for beaded jewelry, they are strung on pearl-friendly material such as linen, that does not grate against the nacre. A silver setting for earrings and studs offsets the pearl to its best advantage.

Freshwater pearls come in a greater variety of colors and shapes than their saltwater counterparts; they are all nacre, solid pearl, and cost a fraction of the price of saltwater pearls of equivalent quality. They are more resistant to wear and tear and when properly looked after can last indefinitely.

It used to be said that a strand of pearls is an essential item in a lady's jewelry collection, and for men it is a pearl tie pin or a pair of pearl cufflinks. More recently, earstuds or a single-pearl necklace or pendant on a leather cord have become popular items for both men and women.

Shamballa was originally a legend of hidden kingdom that is mentioned in various ancient texts. Shamballa gradually came to be seen as a pure land, a fabulous kingdom whose reality is visionary or spiritual as much as physical or geographic. Today, Shamballa is regarded as a place of "peace, tranquility, and happiness". Some Tibetan medical texts those are believed to have come from this kingdom of Samballa describing human anatomy and physiology, sophisticated theories and methods of diagnosis, and ways to prevent and cure serious diseases. It is also said that Shamballa is the dharma chakra, located in the heart of all living beings. It is the symbol for the mind, completing the trinity of body, speech, and mind.
