PHADUA / Karen silver bangle

Hand made and finely crafted stamp work
Hand made one by one, the finely crafted Karen Silver Bangle. The silver is pure and a little soft so it is easy to wear, and the dull shine is not flashy but has a strong presence. The silver bangle has a unique ‘warmth’ to it.

This bangle is stamped with the meaning of ‘protection from the four directions’, so you can wear it as a good luck charm.
What is Stampwork
Stampwork was invented by Navajo silversmiths in the 1880s. A stamp is made by engraving a pattern on the end of a sawhorse and then striking the sawhorse against a silver surface to create a variety of designs. All the stamps are handmade and each artist has his own unique style. Karen Silver is very different from precisely machined accessories. Each piece is handcrafted by hand and has its own unique look. The warmth and individuality of Karen Silver is one of its unique characteristics. KAREN SILVER
A small mountain tribe living in Myanmar and northern Thailand. The purity of the silver is 95-99.9%, compared to 92.5% for most silver jewellery. The use of high purity silver makes it softer and allows for finer workmanship. This results in finely crafted artistic pieces.

Karen silver comes in a variety of shapes and carvings, designed to resemble everyday plants, fish or household objects. It is also used as a talisman to protect against evil spirits and as an eye to watch out for misfortune.
This simple yet striking bangle is a great addition to any outfit. The bangle can be stacked with other bracelets and can be worn in a variety of ways. The unisex design makes it suitable for both men and women and makes a great gift or pairing.
