22k Gold-Plated Resin-Coated Sunflower Bloom Lariat Necklace 'Sunflower Era'

Born in northern Thailand in 1949, Danai Leosawathiphong trained as an engineer at Leeds University before returning home with his wife, Ilkay, a polymer scientist. Together they transformed scientific experimentation into artistry, pioneering a process of electro-forming natural flowers and plants into lasting works of jewelry. What began with late-night trials in makeshift laboratories became a celebrated workshop where the delicate beauty of orchids, leaves, and blossoms is preserved in copper and finished in precious metals. From the outset, Danai prioritized environmental responsibility and social impact, recycling materials and offering meaningful employment opportunities, particularly for women in his community. Today, his creations are admired worldwide for capturing the ephemeral grace of nature in wearable form. Each piece reflects his belief that flowers never go out of fashion, offering jewelry that blends science, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty while preserving the fragile details of the natural world.

Handcrafted in Thailand from 22k gold-plated brass and a resin-coated sunflower, with a high polish finish. The adjustable necklace has a 34.5-inch inner circumference, and its pendant measures 3.3 inches in length by 3.3 inches in width.
