Thai Treasure

A necklace commissioned for a wedding anniversary. The challenge was to incorporate a shell Sarah found on her honeymoon in Thailand into a necklace design. Freshwater pearls, mother of pearl and coral reflect the seaside theme and it seemed fitting to use some Hill Tribe Silver from Thailand. A five pearl pattern is used to symbolise five years of marriage. Living by the sea I would love to develop a range of coastal inspired creations!

Lac beads are handmade traditional Indian beads which are embellished with faceted glass chips, rhinestones, seed beads, small brass/metal components and other various accessories.
