This 'Lanna Links' necklace by Independent Artisans is a stylish and versatile accessory that showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of Karen hill tribe silver artisans. Presented by Pakaon Sojintarit, this extra-long link necklace is a contemporary take on traditional techniques. It features a cascade of hammered 950 silver oval links in various sizes, each one meticulously shaped to create a beautiful, textured flow. The hammered finish adds a rustic elegance, highlighting the purity of the silver. The necklace can be worn long for a chic, elongated look or doubled over for a layered effect, making it an incredibly adaptable piece. This accessory is a testament to the artisan's vision of preserving and elevating a cherished cultural tradition.
Born in 1991, Pakaon Sojintarit, known affectionately as Little, grew up in Chiang Mai in a family deeply connected to the traditions of silver jewelry. Her parents first encountered the artistry of hill tribe silversmiths decades ago, and their admiration for the purity and symbolism of this craft evolved into a family enterprise. From a young age, Little accompanied her mother to hill tribe villages, observing artisans transform raw silver into jewelry of over 95 percent purity using only simple tools. After studies in hospitality and international experience in the United States and China, she chose to return to her roots, combining her global outlook with her heritage. Today, she oversees a workshop that collaborates with more than 300 silversmiths, the majority of them women, providing stable livelihoods and preserving Karen hill tribe traditions. Her vision is to elevate hill tribe silver into a symbol of Chiang Mai’s cultural identity worldwide.
Handcrafted from 950 silver with a .925 sterling silver clasp, this necklace has a hammered finish and measures 35 inches L x 0.8 inches W. The piece weighs 1.16 oz and has an S-hook or hook clasp. Made in Thailand.
