This Artisan Braided Bracelet by Independent Artisans, titled 'Blue-Gray Urban Siam,' is a perfect harmony of color and texture from Thai designer Napapat. She expertly braids two waxed polyester cords by hand, joining them into a single piece with a sliding knot that allows for an adjustable fit. The design is centered by florid sterling silver-plated brass beads, which add a feminine and elegant touch to the urban-inspired color palette. This bracelet reflects the artisan's dedication, patience, and imagination, offering a lasting connection to Thai tradition with a modern twist.
Raised in Chiang Rai, Thailand, the designer grew up crafting toys and accessories from flowers, leaves, and vines, guided by her natural creativity and resourcefulness. Inspired by her father’s carpentry and her mother’s support, she developed an early appreciation for craftsmanship. A formative moment came during a college field trip to the Yao hill tribe village in Chiang Mai, where she learned the intricate braiding traditions of the women artisans. Determined to adapt the technique, she experimented with materials until she discovered the durability and vibrancy of waxed cords, which became central to her jewelry. After graduating, she began designing bracelets, necklaces, and belts, blending ethnic Thai influences with modern durability. Now based in Chiang Mai, she collaborates with local artisans, drawing inspiration from Thailand’s diverse cultural heritage. Each of her creations reflects patience, imagination, and heartfelt artistry, offering wearers a lasting connection to Thai tradition.
This bracelet is made from waxed polyester cords and sterling silver-plated brass with a matte finish and a sliding knot, measuring between 7.3 inches min L and 9.5 inches max L and 0.6 inches W.
