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. A study in exquisite symmetry, this natural orchid reveals pale blue veins. Preserved in 22k gold, the elegant flower graces any fine jewelry collection. Danai selects a delicate blossom to transform into an extraordinary stickpin. 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.
