The prayer box is a unique way of keeping something important or your wishes close to your heart. Traditionally these necklaces were used to hold a prayer written on a piece of paper or even a special keepsake of personal significance. In keeping with this tradition, Thai artisan Nuch transforms fine sterling silver into this heart shaped design that is then decorated with stylish filigree swirls. A cross accents this pendant which also features a secure lock that ensures the safety of its contents. All set on a sterling silver cable chain that measures 18 inches long, this stylish and functional fashion accessory is sure to look amazing on you.

The northern region of Thailand is well known for its handmade crafts and art and this is where artisan Khun Nuch grew up. Her parents would create and sell intricate wood carvings at local markets to provide for the family. While visiting the market with her father, she noticed another artisan who was selling her beautiful silver jewelry. She was drawn to the beauty of the metal and at that moment, she knew she wanted to learn how to make silver jewelry. Nuch earned an apprenticeship with a renowned silver artisan and has been perfecting her craft for over 10 years. She now owns and operates a small jewelry shop where she sells her own designs. Her pieces are both beautiful and meaningful and she loves sharing her creations with the world.
“I have come from a family of artisans and creating art is in my blood. I am very blessed to be able to have turned my love of arts and crafts into a flourishing business. I am grateful for the partnership with AeraVida because it allows me to expand my business to a bigger market. This in turn helps me to support my family while carrying the traditions of my culture into the future.” - Nuch
