Breathtaking pikuns (small Thai flowers) cluster together into an exquisite bouquet. Elaborated from sterling silver, these earrings make a stunning accessory for any occasion. Ploy Intha has an unbreakable spirit, battling countless difficulties to fulfill her dream as a silversmith. Intha describes the intricate process: The silver is beaten and stretched into long strings and cut into smaller pieces. These pieces are then woven together. Then the pikuns are painstakingly handmade one by one and soldered to the woven structure. Little sheets are hammered and cut into little diamonds, drilled and attached to the pair. Then the large hooks are attached to the structures. The pair is washed into a tamarind solution, following by clear water. It is then filed with a brush and polished with a cloth. 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper
