Pink Natural Flower Petal Earrings from Thailand 'Orchid Kite in Pink' These 'Orchid Kite in Pink' earrings are a unique piece of artistry by Thai artisan Danai Leosawathiphong. The pretty earrings are made from actual fuchsia dendrobium orchid petals, whose beauty is preserved forever in a coating of resin. Dangling beneath the petals are pink, pearl-like beads made from eco-friendly paper crafted from elephant dung fiber. The long earrings swing from sterling silver hooks. This piece is a wonderful blend of science, craftsmanship, and 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 from resin-coated dendrobium orchid, elephant dung fiber paper, and 925 sterling silver hooks with a high-polish finish. The earrings feature hook earrings and measure 4.7 inches L x 1.1 inches W.
