泰银,藏银 Thai Karen Hill Tribe silver, Tibetan silver

泰银


  又叫“乌银”,是在银首饰上把银、硫的混合物融化,并以玻璃质状态形成覆盖层。乌银覆盖层疏松乌黑,与白银的光洁银白形成鲜明对比,产生特殊的视觉效果。由于经过了特殊的防旧处理,乌银首饰不仅长期不变色,表面硬度也大大增强。别具一格的质感和色泽,使这种首饰粗犷而古朴。
  泰银,概念上就是925纯银,只是一种特殊工艺的特殊称呼。泰银其实现在走的是国际路线,在国外非常流行,质地也是925的。之所以称呼为“泰银”,主要是因为来自于聪明的泰国人的杰作。泰银镶嵌的宝石与藏银、尼泊尔银不同,泰银以晶莹的乌金石、石榴石为主,红色、黑色是泰银镶嵌宝石的主色调,在阳光下能闪出美丽的光芒。泰银用来搭配套装、晚礼服不会降低您的身份。泰银的款式繁多,做工也不错,适合清秀的女生也适合追求唯美的女士及追求大方的男士。
  泰银一般是千足银,即千分之九百九十九的银含量,也有些防制泰国工艺把925银硫化成"古银效果"的也称做"泰银",国内生产的泰银一般工艺比较简单,所以比起925银镀白金,价格要较低一些!
  泰银饰品经过烧兰工艺处理,以质朴的风格、哑光的、旧旧的、古老的气息,受到时尚一族的喜爱。来自泰国的含银量为92.5%的银饰,和普通银饰不同的是前者的亮度更高、纫性更强。这些饰品大多沿用十三世纪末的朴实艺术手法,采用特别技艺提炼,以求得一种独特的色泽与质感,雕琢镶嵌出令人无法割舍的珍宝。


藏银

  藏银是西藏、尼泊尔生产一种含银较少的合金,主要成份包括镍、铜等。
  按照历史定义是含银大约30%以上的一种合金,但是现在市场上的藏银,几乎不含银。
  伪造白银一般是用红铜、黄铜、白铜、铅、锡、铝等 制造的,其特点是: 红铜质:外表紫红色,茬口黑红色,生绿绣。黄铜质:外表黄色,茬口豆绿色,生绿绣。 白铜质:外表灰白色,茬口砖灰色,生绿绣。 铅质:灰蓝色,质软,用指甲可划出道痕。锡质:银白色,质软,用指甲可划出道痕。 铝质:白灰色,体质较软而轻。
  纯银即标准纯银,一种含92.5%的银与铜或其它金属的合金,市面上有很多925银饰品,即是指其92.5%的含量。
  纯银饰品做工来看,确实比藏银饰品要精致一些,且镶的石头大都是真正的松石、红珊瑚等,石头的品质较好,其亮度也比藏银要强一些,藏银相较之下,更显古朴原始一些,纯银饰品当然也比藏银贵很多啦。
  手镯、三色铜戒指是藏族同胞最喜爱的配饰之一,所谓三色铜,即指由白铜、黄铜、红铜三种不同颜色的铜精心打制而成。
About Thai Karen Hill Tribe And Their Silver Jewelry
Over 100 years ago, nomadic hill tribes migrated south from China into the region of southeast Asia where Burma, Laos, and Thailand find a common point.The Karen Hill Tribe, called "Kariang" or "Yang" in Thai language, is by far the largest hill tribe in Thailand. Skilled as farmers, the Karen people often live in bamboo houses built on stilts. They practice crop rotation and use elephants to clear the land. In the early 1960's, their Majesties, the present King Rama IX, and Queen Sirikit, undertook to help the Karen people develop an alternative to growing their traditional cash crop - opium. As part of a royal project, silver experts were dispatched to impart their knowledge of jewelry to the farmers of the Karen Hill Tribe. The first generation of Karen silversmiths was taught to carefully handcraft each design from scratch, using high-content silver (usually 97 + %). They learned to give each design a unique appearance only seen in their own creations. From Karen mother and father to Karen son and daughter, they have passed down their silver work skills and traditions. Today, each handmade ornament is a unique masterpiece that represents centuries of Karen culture and art. Often, the jewelry is engraved with plant, animal, or geometric designs, symbolizing their direct connection to their land and water.
