This Sterling Silver and Lapis Lazuli Pendant Necklace by Matta Nandrakwang captures the celestial beauty of a starry night. Inspired by her deep appreciation for gemstones and the natural world, Matta designs this pendant to feature a rich, oval-shaped lapis lazuli stone. Its deep blue surface is speckled with golden pyrite, evoking a galaxy of stars set against a dark sky. Framed by a simple sterling silver bezel, the design is a testament to the stone's inherent beauty, making it an elegant and timeless piece that carries the wonder of the cosmos. It's a perfect accessory for those who are drawn to the mystery and magic of the night sky.

Matta Nandrakwang, born in Chiang Rai near the Myanmar border, grew up amidst the vibrant cultures of Thailand’s northern tribes. From childhood, she was enchanted by the adornments of hill tribe women, their silver coins, beads, and ornaments sparking a lifelong fascination with jewelry. Her first blue star sapphire ring ignited a passion that only grew stronger. After training as a nurse and traveling abroad, Matta realized her true calling was in gemstones. She pursued formal studies in gemology and jewelry design, supplementing her education with self-taught bead-making. Today, she runs her own studio, where she shares her love of gems and the art of jewelry with visitors. Inspired by both heritage and personal style, her creations celebrate the natural beauty of gemstones and the cultural richness of her homeland. For Matta, jewelry is both adornment and storytelling, carrying history, elegance, and joy.

Handcrafted with lapis lazuli and 925 sterling silver, this necklace features a 1 mm snake chain measuring 15.8 inches long with a spring ring clasp. The high polish pendant measures 0.9 inches L x 0.6 inches W.
