This Handmade Natural Orchid Flower Long Pendant Necklace 'Indigo Blossom' is a unique and beautiful accessory. Designed by Danai, the necklace features a natural orchid flower preserved through electroplating. The flower is dyed a lovely shade of blue and hung from adjustable leather cords with a glass bead. The piece, which blends science, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty, is a beautiful representation of the artisan's environmental responsibility.
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 with a dyed natural orchid flower in resin lacquer, leather, and glass beads. The length is adjustable from 14.5 to 32 inches. No two pendants will look exactly the same.
