Two Day Trunk Show! Friday, Dec 3, 2021, 12-6pm Saturday, Dec 4, 2021, 11am-6pm Free & Open to the Public! Check out the amazing selections of gorgeous Thai Silver Beads from Niki Passenier’s Hill Tribe Silver Collection! Niki Passenier has been in the jewelry and bead business for nearly two decades, and from the start she exclusively dealt in jewelry and fine silver beads she designs herself and which are skillfully handcrafted by the artisans of the Karen Hill Tribe in Thailand, where she lives with her family. The same tribal artisans she started with almost two decades ago are still working for her today. Niki Passenier’s collection is an eclectic but harmonious assortment of contemporary and traditional designs made from ‘fine silver’, which is the trade term for 99.9% pure silver. Fine silver has the unique quality of not tarnishing like sterling silver and lower grade silver alloys do (sterling silver is an alloy containing only 92.5%) and is, therefore, the first choice for high-end jewelry designers. Over the years Niki has introduced many, if not most, new contemporary designs in the Thai hill tribe silver as initially they only made their traditional tribal designs for her.
