Tropical Wood and Coconut Shell Waterfall Necklace 'Tropical Waterfall'

Sumalee, from Isan in northeastern Thailand, grew up surrounded by flowers, silkworms, and textiles woven by her grandmother and aunt. After leaving school early due to financial hardship, she supported herself through jobs in Thai dessert shops and later with a Christian nonprofit, where she spent 17 years helping the elderly find small sources of income. Exhausted but determined, she pursued several ventures before discovering her path in jewelry. Inspired by simple wooden beads, she began threading colorful necklaces by hand and selling them on the streets. Tourists admired their lightweight beauty and affordability, and her work slowly gained recognition. Today, her designs transform humble beads into vibrant jewelry, crafted with the help of older community members who find both purpose and income through the work. For Sumalee, jewelry is not only a livelihood but also a way to uplift others while celebrating Thai craftsmanship.

Handcrafted in Thailand from littleleaf boxwood, coconut shell, and waxed polyester cord, this waterfall necklace has a length of 19 inches. The pendant measures 15 inches in length and 5 inches in width. It has a toggle clasp. Please note that color, size, and/or motif may vary slightly, and the wood grain and color can vary.
