This Chrysanthemum-Themed 22k Gold-Plated Red Lariat Necklace by Independent Artisans captures the allure of a chrysanthemum flower in a luxurious, wearable form. Designed by Danai Leosawathiphong, who believes flowers never go out of fashion, this lariat necklace is a bold statement piece. The delicate, resin-coated chrysanthemum flower is the main accent, bathed in a passionate red hue and polished for a unique look. The piece is suspended from a 22k gold-plated snake chain, blending science, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty while preserving the fragile details of the natural world.
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 chrysanthemum flower, this lariat necklace has a 34.5-inch inner circumference snake chain with a high-polish finish. The pendant measures 3.5 inches L x 3.5 inches W x 1.2 inches D.
