stones and other materials
- I prefer natural stones. The little imperfections of natural stones make a piece of jewelry more special. Synthetic stones are often too perfect and appear somehow "cold" because of this. However, synthetic spinels with their translucent deep blue color and the brilliant Swarovsky crystals are exceptions to this preference, as well as synthetic ruby because of its price.

Interesting fact silver made in Thailand is only made in villages outside of the main cities by Hill tribe families. Most patterns have been in there family for many years and can only be made by large order. There are no stores or one central place to purchase Hill tribe silver in variety other than from the large Handicraft shops in the city. Mondays and Fridays are the days families will bring their goods to the main shops for sale and to pick up new orders. A trip to a silver village is a real eye opener to see how families work together to make beautiful silver pieces of art. All Handmade.
