Thai Handcrafted Cultured Pearl and Sterling Silver Bracelet - White Lotus Breeze

Artisan Organization: Angels

Country: Mexico

I'm Angels from Chiang Mai, a charming city in the North of Thailand that I always wish everyone would have a chance to experience its beauty.

I've been surrounded by silver jewelry since I was a little girl. I grew up with those who cared for me often plaiting bracelets next to me while I was in bed. My parents' workshop was my playground, with jewelry pieces were lying everywhere. I am very lucky to come from a warm family: my mother, father, and my younger brother always inspire me to work on my creations.

"My mother, Achara Patthong, and my father, Withaya Cheunjit, have been working in silver jewelry industry for over 30 years. Both of my parents are jewelry designers. Most of their designs are handmade by hill tribe silversmiths with 96-99% fine silver. In this way our family aims to help hill tribe smiths in the upper North of Thailand to preserve their culture and earn a living.

"More importantly, my parents are also NOVICA talented artisans. I told them that one day I will follow their footsteps to be one of NOVICA's artisans. And here I am!

"I have observed my parents working in this field ever since I was little. They taught me how their beautiful silver jewelry pieces are designed and crafted. My parents also gave me the opportunity to create my own jewelry items to sell with theirs. I was very happy and excited when customers start purchasing my items. I've been inspired to design my own jewelry since then.

"My jewelries are crafted with unique designs and with high quality, which is very important in order to meet my customers' expectations and satisfaction.

"For the collection that I want to share with you I use very small silver beads and connect them with a thin thread of silver to make a chain. That way the chain is able to bend and sway beautifully. Then I take the chains in multiple sizes and make the design look like it is woven together so it looks delicate and swaying like lace. My jewelry designs look luxurious and can be worn on different occasions.

"My dream is to create a successful jewelry brand name, and I will do my best to continue creating beautiful and precious jewelries. Therefore, please let me know how you like my designs and feel free to leave me your comments. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

"Thank you!""
