SIAM SILVER ENAMEL-RARE RED BROOCH AND EARRINGS

BEAUTIFUL SIAM JEWELLERY(THAILAND) MARKED SIAM SILVER.

SIAM SILVERWAS A POPULAR GIFT FOR THEIR SWEETHEARTS/WIVES FROM SOLDIERS STATIONED THERE FROM 1920S ON.MOST OF IT WAS COMPLETELY HANDMADE JEWELLERY.

 MOST SIAM PIECES ARE OF CHARACHTERS IN HINDU FOLKLORE,FROM THE EPIC OF RAMAYAMA.

USUALLY THEY DISPLAY THE GOD OF THUNDER,RAMASOON,PURSUEING THE GODDESS OF LIGHTNING,MEKALA.OFTEN ITS JUST MEKALA,IDENTIFIABLE BY HER LIGHTNING BOLTS.

SIAM BECAME THAILAND ABOUT 1938,SO THESE ARE VINTAGE ITEMS

MY FAVOURITE COLOUR IS RED ,BUT I HAVE TOO MANY PIECES.

THE BROOCH IS A BRIGHT RED WITH A TOUCH OF ORANGE,IT SHOWS THE LIGHTNING GODDESS IN GREAT DETAIL ,SHINY SILVER,NOT GREYISH,HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH.A LARGE 5 CM LONG WITH A ROLL OVER CLASP,AND "SIAM 925 SILVER " HALLMARKED.A SMALL SMUDGE TO ENAMEL AT HER KNEE,NOT REALLY NOTICABLE ON.

THE 2 CM ROUND MATCHING EARRINGS ARE A RICH RED WITH THE SAME DESIGN.THEY ARE CLIP ONS WITH"STERLING SIAM" MARKED ON THEM,SHINY SILVER.RED IS ANOTHER HARD TO COME BY COLOUR AND IT HAS TAKEN ME YEARS TO FIND ALL OF MY COLLECTION

SIAM SILVER IS VERY COLLECTABLE AND HARD TO FIND IN THIS COLOUR.IT ALSO IS A REAL TALKING POINT TO WEAR,AS I OFTEN DO.
