This Dark Wood and Sterling Silver Beaded Stretch Necklace 'Dark Spiral Bangle' by Chiang Mai artisan Ralyon Hengwatanakul is a striking blend of natural materials and contemporary design. Hand-carved from deep brown mai maka wood, each bead forms a lovely stretch necklace. The centerpiece is a stunning sterling silver spiral-patterned bangle that wraps around one of the beads, creating a beautiful contrast and an intriguing focal point. This piece bridges the gap between traditional carpentry and modern silversmithing, appealing to both classic and contemporary tastes. It’s a sophisticated and unique accessory that’s perfect for a man or woman who appreciates fine craftsmanship and a connection to nature.
Chiang Mai artisan Ralyon Hengwatanakul grew up in a family of silk merchants but found his own artistic path through jewelry. Educated in England as a computer engineer, he returned to Thailand and married fellow artisan Jaifah Aksornsri. Inspired by his wife’s family’s silver and woodworking traditions, he began experimenting with new forms that combined natural woods such as mai maka with sterling silver. The result is a contemporary collection that bridges carpentry and silversmithing, appealing to both younger and older generations. Working with local craftsmen near his village, Ralyon takes pride in blending Thai heritage with modern style. Together with his wife and two children, he hopes to expand their online presence, ensuring traditional Thai artistry thrives in a digital age while captivating audiences around the world.
Handcrafted in Thailand from mai maka wood and 925 sterling silver, this necklace measures 19.5 inches long by 15 mm wide and features a screw-barrel clasp.
