VINTAGE CONDITION SHOP MORE RINGS Shop more vintage rings WHAT IS SIAM SILVER About Siam SilverSiam silver jewelry refers to sterling silver pieces made in Thailand from the 1930s through the 1970s for the tourist market. The designs use a niello technique, where carved areas of silver are filled with a dark metallic compound and polished to a smooth shine. Common motifs include traditional Thai dancers and mythological figures such as Mekhala and the demon Ramayana. Siam silver is well-loved by collectors for its dramatic black-and-silver contrast and cultural storytelling. HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE JEWELRY Vintage Jewelry CareAlways handle vintage jewelry gently and store it carefully between wearings. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, tangling, or metal abrasion. Avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, which can dull finishes or weaken settings. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away oils and dust. For metals and stones, use a mild, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner suited to the materials. Never submerge rhinestone or glued pieces in water or use ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can damage the foil backing or loosen stones. With proper care, your vintage jewelry will retain its beauty and character for years to come.Purchase our favorite jewelry cleaner here. SHIPPING & RETURNS We ship items within five business days.
