Its distinctive architecture includes shrines adorned with floral patterns and two Buddha that support the structure’s roof. Thailand is also home to featured jewelry designer Somluck Komolmith.
Thailand is not only renowned for its skilled silversmiths
but also for its wealth of gemstone sites including Chantaburi (Siamese rubies)
and the Kanchanaburi Province (blue sapphires).
Forty-seven year old Komolmith makes full use of Thailand's plethora of gemstones by
implementing such lovely semi-precious gemstones as red quartz, blue turquoise,
purple amethyst, red garnets and pink pearls into understated, classic jewelry
designs.
The play of subtle and vivid colors, offset by textured
accents of sterling silver, stirs the emotions; evoking imagery of the
designer’s varied sources of inspiration.
Her Eastern Moon Earrings, for
instance, a simple white pearl is implemented to emulate the subtle shine of
the moon. The “fire” of her Heart of Fire Choker Necklace is a deep
red quartz, carved into the shape of a heart, suspended from a glossy strand of
white pearls.

“My parents used to have a jewelry shop on the Myanmar
border. When my two older brothers
opened jewelry shops, I had the opportunity to learn about jewelry so I
designed and created for myself,” says the mother of two.
“Now I have my own business and I am also a homemaker so I
use the night to create jewelry to offer to Novica.com. I start by imagining a design, sketching it
and selecting the materials.
I use only
high quality materials from Thailand.
Good materials and good designs make for a good product, don’t you
think?”
