Item Description
A cute nest of curled and curved silver wires from the famous Sarbai Mine of Kazakhstan. This showy, two-sided specimen is partially etched out of calcite and has a beautiful patina, which adds pizzazz. Kazakhstan silvers compare very favorably with Kongsberg and German wire silvers, but at CONSIDERABLY less cost. These came out in the early 1990s, with very few since.
