DIRTY DIVAS
Artisan Jewelry Featuring Lampwork Beads
Our Dirty Divas line features artisan jewelry of lampwork beads, Thai and Bali silver and gold. I try to credit the individual glass studios for their wonderful creations when possible.
The Karen and Hilltribe of northern Thailand make their living in agriculture or handicrafts - silversmithing being their most famous. Each piece is handmade with the same primitive tools they have used for centuries and the silver content is higher than the 92.5% of Sterling Silver.
Bali silver beads are handcrafted mainly in Celuk - Bali's major silver manufacturing center. They are 92.5% (Sterling) silver and never silver-plated. The highly skilled techniques used in crafting these beads are passed down from generation to generation. Bali gold beads are 18 to 22K gold over Sterling Silver.
