AD ~ Thai Silver on sale! 25% off!!
This ad has been cross-posted on several Yahoo bead lists
************************************************** ************** I've been keeping an eye on silver prices lately and the news hasn't been good. On January 1st of this year, silver was fixed at $5.36/troy ounce, fairly high given that the price had been under $5 for much of 2003. Yesterday, silver closed at $7.85!! That's almost a $2.50 increase in just three months. Troubling to say the least if you dabble in wire wrapping or use lots of Bali or Thai silver in your creations. I thought it appropriate to give my customers a little help and have a sale on all my Thai silver. So it's all reduced by 25% for the next 30 days. Have fun!! And don't forget that most of the beads I have in this Spring's wonderful colors (pink, spring green, fuchsia, orange, yellow and peridot) are also on sale at 20% off. Here's where you start browsing: http://stores.ebay.com/Halsey-Tradin...ny?refid=store Please contact me with any questions or comments or if you notice any mistakes in the listings. Happy Beading!

Hi Harry -
True Bali silver beads are made on the island of Bali in Indonesia by craftsman using very old silver working techniques. They tend to use lots of granulation and wire on their beads in rather distinctive designs. Nina Designs is an excellent website to view real Bali silver: http://www.ninadesigns.com/ It's all made from sterling silver (.925 pure silver) or vermeil (22kt gold over sterling) True Thai silver, on the other hand, is made by artisans of the Hill tribes of Thailand, up in the Golden Triangle area of Southeast Asia. They also use centuries old silver working techniques, but their work is entirely different in style from the Bali, tending to larger, stylized forms of flowers and leaves rather than ornate beads. Thai silver is 96-98% pure. HTH!!

Thank you so much. I was just browsing your store and wish I could
buy everything..... wonder if I will ever get around to making anything. lol I am trying to think ahead for Christmas, (yes, I know it's early), but I want to be ready this year. I have a lot to learn and do, so I don't think I could be to early. I love the necklace that VJ just finished and I would love to try and create something similar for Christmas in the traditional Christmas colors. Reds, greens, silvers and gold. I think plum is also a Christmas color isn't it?
