SILK NECKLACE Double Strand Plait Khmer Cambodia

These elegant bib style necklaces are handmade with silk covering small beads, double stranded and plaited.  The colour choice is amazing and will match any outfit and the material has an amazing sheen to it.

The necklaces are tied behind the neck with a silk bow, this allows the beads to be lowered if desired.

Cambodia's golden silk is spun from the cocoons of golden silkworms, rather than the white ones found elsewhere in the world. Our silk is washable, souple, strong, soft and shiny. It is cool on a hot day and warm during the cold season, lightweight and pleasant to wear.

Measures plait length 38cm with silk straps of 26cm each.

Fair Trade, eco-friendly, sustainable.

Washing instructions for silk - 

1. Place the garment in cold water with a gentle detergent, as silk is like hair, a gentle shampoo will also do the trick.

2. Give it a stir, and let it sit for just a few minutes. Silk releases dirt quickly, so the process doesn't take long.

3. Next, drain the soapy mix and rinse with cool, running water.

4. Pat off excess water with a towel and allow to dry before putting away.
