These 'Shimmering Stripes' earrings by Lalana Thawiaphiradimani are a beautiful fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary style. The curling half-hoop shape is elevated by delicate stripes in relief, giving the sterling silver a subtle, textured shimmer that dances in the light. The minimalist design makes them effortlessly versatile, perfect for elevating a casual daytime look or adding a touch of understated elegance for a night out. These earrings honor Lalana's dedication to her craft and her mission to create sustainable livelihoods for her community of artisans in Northern Thailand.
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.
These earrings are handcrafted in Thailand from 925 sterling silver. They measure 0.6 inches in length and 0.2 inches in width, feature a high-polish finish, and secure with posts.
