Avoid contact with water.
Rooted in the folk traditions of northern Thailand, this artisan preserves the ancient practice of wood jewelry, transforming sacred timbers into wearable art. Originally a tailor in Chiang Mai, health challenges led her to explore her lifelong interest in natural materials. Fascinated by the grains and colors of mango wood, coconut shell, and sacred tree branches, she began shaping necklaces and bracelets that soon drew admiration. With her husband’s guidance in woodworking, she expanded into using symbolic woods like tamarind, star gooseberry, jackfruit, and padauk, each carrying blessings in Thai tradition. Her eco-conscious process ensures that no piece of wood goes to waste, even recycling sawdust for soil enrichment. Today, she collaborates with neighbors who craft components from home, providing them with meaningful income. Her jewelry embodies both beauty and belief, preserving cultural heritage while celebrating Thailand’s artistry in a modern, wearable form.
Handcrafted in Thailand, these hook earrings are made from lontar wood and .925 sterling silver hooks. The total weight is 0.30 oz. Each earring measures 2.8 inches L x 2.4 inches W.
