This 'Thai Journey' wrap ring by Independent Artisans is a joyful and artistic celebration of Thai culture. Designed by Achara, this handcrafted ring features a charming elephant with a raised trunk, wandering through a beautifully textured jungle. The piece is a reflection of the incredible craftsmanship of Thailand's Karen hill tribe artisans, known for their meticulous silversmithing skills. The hammered dot motif and oxidized finish give the ring a rustic, vintage appeal, highlighting the intricate details of the design. This animal-themed ring is the perfect accessory to carry the spirit of a Thai journey and support the preservation of a rich cultural heritage.
Achara and her husband, Withaya, began designing and crafting silver jewelry together in 1984, transforming their shared passion into a family workshop now guided by both artistry and purpose. Based in northern Thailand, they discovered the remarkable silversmithing skills of local hill tribe artisans, whose work was little known beyond their communities. Determined to uplift these traditions, Achara and Withaya collaborated with the artisans to refine techniques, adapt designs for broader audiences, and preserve cultural motifs. Today, their workshop brings together talented designers and craftspeople, producing jewelry that bridges heritage and contemporary elegance. Their children, Nampueng and Harley, serve as daily inspiration, reinforcing their vision of jewelry as both livelihood and legacy. Each piece reflects a mission to sustain Thai and hill tribe culture while supporting artisans with fair opportunities. For Achara and Withaya, every creation is not only jewelry but an invitation to join their extended family.
Handcrafted in 950 silver, this ring features a 15 mm W band and an oxidized finish. The piece weighs 0.28 oz. For rings of this width, it is recommended to order one size larger than usual for a comfortable fit. Made in Thailand.
