All Handmade Sterling Silver Rings

Tiao Sterling Silver Jewellery

Tiao is a curation of handmade sterling silver rings designed for everyday wear, not just special occasions. Each piece is handcrafted from high-purity sterling silver and independently UK hallmarked, verifying its quality and authenticity.

Our rings are made to be worn, travelled with, and lived in, developing character over time rather than losing their finish. Unlike mass-produced jewellery, subtle variations in texture and form reflect the handmade process and ensure every ring feels individual, considered, and built to last.

Handmade Rings – Karen Hill Tribe Craftsmanship

Our handmade rings are crafted using traditional techniques by Karen Hill Tribe silversmiths in Northern Thailand, where jewellery making is a generational craft.

Karen Hill Tribe silver is known for its high purity and distinctive hand-worked finish, with each ring individually shaped, textured, and finished by hand rather than cast in moulds. This results in sterling silver rings with depth, weight, and balance — pieces that feel substantial and authentic, rather than mass-manufactured and soulless.

Our Travelling & Curation

Tiao was born through our extended travel across Asia, where our silver jewellery was worn daily, tested in real (very humid) conditions, and sourced through lived experience rather than fast fashion trends.

Each ring has been handpicked, chosen for its form, feel, and timeless design rather than seasonal fashion cycles. The collections have become reminders of places, moments, and stories from our travels, allowing every handmade ring to carry a sense of meaning alongside craftsmanship which you can find more out about in About.

Sizing and Care

Tiao has a selection of fixed, semi-adjustable and fully adjustable rings - so you can buy online with total confidence. On each product page look for the "find your fit" to see which your ring is. And if you want to be really sure of your size, you can find all the information you'll need in our Ring Size Guide.

Our rings have been tested from humid Thailand to frosty Northumberland so we're confident their high-purity luster will last a long time. For those looking for more advice on ring care, to keep you're silver perfect forever, our ring care guide is coming soon.

A message from the Curator

"At the beginning our travels I bought a sterling silver ring from Chiang Mai for myself. After 6 months of travelling it was apparent that the jewellery was top quality, not tarnishing at all. Even with the daily wear, swimming, sunbathing and tropical heat!" Kristan, Director and Curator
