Necklace, 'Silvery Cubism'

Exchanging shapes and textures, this necklace evidences Chanatip Na Lampoon's ability to blend past and present fashions. Tiny spacer beads delicately embossed recall the legendary art of Thailand's hill tribes. The necklace chain is formed by a succession of argent tusks that goes midway, followed by more patterned beads. Five cubes in the center complete the unique allure of this sterling silver necklace. Lampoon's jewelry celebrates a silversmith legacy that goes back to the 13th and 14th centuries. Each sterling motif and chain is cast individually by hand, with techniques brought to northern Thailand by the Burmese and the Shan. This product is entirely hand-crafted with rudimentary tools and as such may show slight imperfections or dents. These remain as evidence of the artisan's hard work and highlight the rustic allure of the piece. .925% silver.
