This 'Brown Hill Tribe Bride' bracelet by Independent Artisans is a beautifully handcrafted piece that weaves together cultural symbolism and modern design. Created by Thai artisan Napapat, this wristband features three espresso brown cords braided by hand, a testament to the intricate traditions of the Yao hill tribe women. The bracelet is adorned with sterling silver circlets meticulously crafted by artisans from the Karen hill tribe, with each circlet evoking the sacred symbolism of a wedding ring. This adjustable bracelet offers a unique blend of heritage and style, allowing the wearer to carry a piece of Thai tradition with them.
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.
Hand-knotted from waxed polyester cord with .950 silver circlets, this bracelet weighs 0.23 oz and adjusts from 7 inches to 10.3 inches in length with a sliding knot. It has a combination finish. Made in Thailand.
