Story Behind the art:
Working with you has made me realize that my inner passion is in creatively crafting jewelry. I enjoy creating new designs. I have opened a small workshop to create handmade jewelry made of gemstones, pearls, glass and many other materials. My work mostly emphasizes the beauty of nature and colors. There are four skilled artisans who have worked regularly with me for a long time, and everyone loves what they do. Now I'm able to offer work to more than 20 women in my community, both on a permanent and temporary basis. Some of these people are security guards, students, homemakers and company employees who work nearby. They seem happy with the way we work together. Besides handmade jewelry, I would like to try creating other things such as tabletop items, household decor and decorative items from the existing materials I've been using in making jewelry. From my income earned over the past ten years, I have invested in a property. I plan to make a guest accommodation where I will offer a small class in crafting jewelry, from basic to advanced. I think my jewelry designs may not be trendy or fashionable forever. I want like to thank you for the opportunity to present our jewelry to the world since 2011. Original Artisan Story My name is Nareerat Tansuwansophon but you can call me Lek. In 1982, after I graduated from grade nine, I moved to Bangkok. Then I worked as a buyer at a foreign trading agency until 1992 when an enamel company asked me to work in their marketing department. I thought it was a good opportunity so I worked there for three years before I quit to get married. My hobby is origami, folding papers into many shapes. After I had some time off for being pregnant, I went back to work for another three years until I had twin boys in 2000. I quit working again when they were born and devoted all my time to them. When I moved to a new house about a year later, I was so bored. I liked several kinds of jewelry so I bought some of them to sell at my sister's shop. The feedback was great, so I decided to design my own jewelry in 2004. I prefer to design and craft it myself. So I bought a book about jewelry making processes. When I knew the basics and the process, I started to design by myself. I have faith and believe in God, and I want to look after my three children so they grow up to be good people. I also want to make jewelry. At present, I live with my husband and our children, and I manage my jewelry project by myself.
The handmade touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
