Product Description

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Danai transforms a trio of flowers into a delightful brooch. Like three shy sisters, natural ascocentrum orchids are encased in 22k gold plate. Pink and blue enamel is added by hand to a timeless piece of jewelry. Because natural blossoms are used, size and shape will vary slightly. Due to the flower's natural weight, pin in a vertical direction. Artisan Info: "My name is Danai Leosawathiphong. I was born March 20, 1949 in northern Thailand. My grandfather was a Chinese immigrant from the Canton province. He emigrated to Thailand at the end of the 19th century when he was in his early twenties. He was a very hard working person and set up a business by the Ping River. He traded goods all along the river and during that time he met my partner's grandfather. "I studied business and left for England. Engineering interested me, and I graduated with an engineering degree from Leeds University. I love England; it is like my second home, quite unique and different from other countries. People from the UK have lovely personalities - you can spot them from far away. I met Ilkay, my wife there. She went to Brunel University where she graduated in polymer science. "In 1976, Ilkay and I came back to Thailand. Originally my family and partner's family planned to do mining. And in order

5.0 out of 5 stars Feel as beautiful as it looks, September 10, 2007
By 
This review is from: Natural orchid gold-plated brooch, 'Shy Sisters' 3" W 1" L (Jewelry)
I bought this brooch for my mother's birthday. I cannot tell you my mother's reaction since I haven't given her yet, but I was very happy when I saw the piece. It was as beautiful as it looks of the images provided, but it also gave me very special feelings when I opened the pretty patterned gift box, which the brooch was in it. There was a handwriting thank you post card included in the package. I know my mother would love it, too and I am very happy with the purchase. Be advised to order well advance since it is coming from Thailand.
