Lanna silver

Made by hand in northern Thailand

Our Lanna silver was made by hill tribe women in northern Thailand. I chose each piece while my family and I lived there, and brought them home to share.

Each one is stamped or shaped by hand, so no two are exactly alike.

  • Metal.925 sterling silver
  • Made inNorthern Thailand
  • CarePolish with a silver cloth

What each symbol carries

Our story

"I hope each piece goes with you through the mud, and up toward the light."

I wrote the Purple Lotus card years ago, and it still says what I hope for every piece. The pearls are freshwater pearls, and every one began around something that got inside and hurt. I sit with grieving people every week. This is something small they can carry out the door.

Questions

Before you order

How fast does it ship?

Orders ship from Santa Monica, California by USPS Ground Advantage with tracking, usually arriving in 3 to 7 business days. Shipping is $6, and free on orders of $50 or more. We ship within the US for now.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. Tick "This is a gift" in your bag and add a note if you like. We leave the receipt out and ship it straight to them in its purple satin bag with the meaning card.

What is the "In memory of" card?

A small card with the name you give us written out, tucked in with the piece. Add the name in your bag before checkout.

Will it tarnish?

The pearl slider chains are stainless steel and do not tarnish. Sterling silver darkens a little over time; a silver polishing cloth brings it back. Put pearls on last, after lotion and perfume, and wipe them with a dry cloth.

Will a stretch bracelet fit me?

The pearl stretch bracelets and memory wire wraps fit most wrists. The cord bracelets run small to medium.

Are the pearls real?

Yes, they are freshwater pearls. The colored pearls (blush, peacock, chocolate, purple, grey) are color enhanced. Natural pearls vary, so yours may differ a little from the photo.
