Product Description

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Delicate ropes of lacy filigree form dainty flowers, designed by Daranee and hand-crafted in sterling silver. They gently caress a polished turquoise brooch. The marcasite-studded branches provide a glittering contrast to the smooth blue gemstone. In Thailand, it is believed that marcasite increases mental clarity and memory while stimulating the intellect. 0.925 rating silver Artisan Info: "Sawasdee ka. I'm Daranee Suwanpreecha, but my nickname is 'Mam.' I was born in northern Thailand on April 28, 1964. I was raised on my father's longang farm with my parents, two brothers and a sister. We grew up with love and understanding. I can remember that I've always loved and appreciated jewelry since I was very young. "I studied in my home town and then went to high school in Bangkok. I had a sponsor from the royal family who provided scholarships to high school and university. After my graduation in 1977, I worked as a teacher for 26 years. In 1989 I married a teacher in the same school. We live together with happiness, but sadly I cannot have children. "My husband's family is in the jewelry business. I began selling their designs to friends and colleagues; I enjoyed this because I was able to offer something I like very much to others. Jewelry was a hobby until 2003, when I decided to devote all my time to it. Although I love teaching, there are new generations
