This 925 Silver Floral Pendant Necklace 'Orchid Blossom' by Independent Artisans is a petite and elegant design by Lalana Thawiaphiradimani. Inspired by Thailand’s lush tropical flora, the necklace features a perfect orchid that has blossomed in sterling silver. The delicate pendant is worn on a gleaming cable chain decorated with stations, offering a modern and refined look. This piece not only celebrates contemporary jewelry arts but also reflects Lalana's commitment to creating sustainable livelihoods for the Karen silversmiths she collaborates with, making it a piece that is as meaningful as it is beautiful.

Born in Northern Thailand into a large family of ten siblings, Lalana Thawiaphiradimani grew up with modest means but strong values of perseverance and community. At 18 she left home in search of opportunity, working as a maid before saving enough to pursue her own path. Introduced to Karen hill tribe silver jewelry by her mother’s friend, she quickly fell in love with its intricate motifs and cultural depth. Since 1986, she has dedicated herself to the craft, collaborating with more than 100 families, including Karen silversmiths, to produce jewelry that blends traditional designs with contemporary style. Many of the silver beads feature signature Karen symbols—flowers, fish, and geometric patterns—woven into macramé or minimal jewelry ideal for daily wear. Beyond artistry, Lalana is proud to have created sustainable livelihoods for her collaborators, ensuring that every piece reflects not only heritage and beauty, but also community resilience.

Handcrafted in Thailand, this necklace is made from 925 sterling silver. It features a combination finish, a cable chain, and a spring ring clasp. The necklace is 18 inches L with a pendant measuring 0.6 inches L x 0.6 inches W.
