Courtney Tyler - Designer Jewellery

Thailand and Hilltribes photographs

I wanted to share some photos with you of my travels to Thailand, my visit to the Karen Hilltribe village near Pai, Chang Mai. I source my Hilltribe silver- used in many of my jewellery creations- directly from them in my travels. I am always amazed and delighted at the intricate and ethnic designs which they create out of pure silver, handcrafted up in the mountains, with rustic tools and surroundings. (see tomorrow’s post for some photos of the silversmiths, some samples of my favorite pieces, and more general information about Hilltribe silver.)
