She expertly knots this ankle bracelet by hand using macrame techniques with a durable waxed polyester cord. The anklet is adorned with silver beads of Karen hill tribe origin, which add a unique cultural element and a touch of shine to the black cord. The piece is secured with a sterling silver clasp, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. This anklet reflects the artisan's creativity and her heartfelt connection to Thai tradition.
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.
Handcrafted in Thailand from waxed polyester cord and 950 silver beads with a .925 sterling silver S-hook clasp, this anklet measures 9.8 inches L and 3 mm W.
