This Sterling Silver and Wood Pendant Necklace from Thailand 'Sophisticated Form' by Chiang Mai artisan Ralyon Hengwatanakul is a truly sophisticated accessory. The hand-carved, leaf-shaped pendant is crafted from dark mai maka wood, showcasing a beautiful, natural grain. A patterned panel of sterling silver decorates the front, adding a touch of elegant contrast. This necklace embodies Ralyon's dedication to blending Thai heritage with modern design, creating a piece that feels both luxurious and authentic. The pendant is centered on a sterling cable chain, making this a timeless and refined addition to any wardrobe.
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 22.3 inches long by 2 mm wide. The pendant measures 2.6 inches long by 0.8 inches wide and features a cable chain with a lobster claw clasp.
