Pentagon-Shaped 18k Rose Gold-Plated Half-Hoop Earrings 'Pentagon of Grace' These 'Pentagon of Grace' half-hoop earrings from Independent Artisans are a graceful and modern design by Thai artisan Lalana Thawiaphiradimani. Inspired by the pentagon, a symbol of natural balance and harmony, the earrings are exquisitely sharp and minimalist. They are crafted from 18k rose gold-plated sterling silver, with a high-polish finish that adds a touch of sophistication and warmth. This piece reflects Lalana’s ability to blend traditional Karen hill tribe symbols with contemporary trends.
Born in Northern Thailand into a large family of ten siblings, Lalana Thawiaphiradimani grew up with modest means but strong values of perseverance and community. At 18 she left home in search of opportunity, working as a maid before saving enough to pursue her own path. Introduced to Karen hill tribe silver jewelry by her mother’s friend, she quickly fell in love with its intricate motifs and cultural depth. Since 1986, she has dedicated herself to the craft, collaborating with more than 100 families, including Karen silversmiths, to produce jewelry that blends traditional designs with contemporary style. Many of the silver beads feature signature Karen symbols—flowers, fish, and geometric patterns—woven into macramé or minimal jewelry ideal for daily wear. Beyond artistry, Lalana is proud to have created sustainable livelihoods for her collaborators, ensuring that every piece reflects not only heritage and beauty, but also community resilience.
Handcrafted in Thailand from 18k rose gold-plated 925 sterling silver with a high-polish finish. The earrings feature post earrings and measure 0.8 inches L x 0.1 inches W.
