The iconic elephant has played an important role in the history of Thailand and has been revered by its people for many centuries. This amazing animal has inspired Thai designer Suwit to create this beautiful elephant pendant necklace using fine sterling silver. The elephant is decorated with tribal motifs, which showcase the artisan’s metalworking skill. This intricately detailed pendant is then paired with a stylish beaded wire chain that measures 17 inches long. A truly beautiful necklace that will add a traditional touch of Thai culture to whatever you are wearing.

Artisan Suwit hails from the northern city of Chang Mai in Thailand and has been practicing the art of jewelry making for over 20 years. With the help of her husband Withaya, she was able to open a small jewelry store in Chang Mai that specialized in unique sterling silver pieces. Inspired by the many Thai Hilltribes that live in the area, their jewelry designs are a combination of new trends with a traditional flair. Now many years later, their two children Chakrii and Anong, help run the family business.
“I have been working with silver jewelry for over two decades and over that time I started a family and raised two beautiful children. They are my inspiration and motivate me to work hard each and every day. It brings me great happiness to pass on the traditions of jewelry making on to them and hopefully they will pass it forward to my grandchildren, when that time comes.” -Suwit
