They are crocheted by hand featuring brass bells as well as Chinese coin replicas, believed to foster wealth and success. The bracelets are centered by colorful glass beads and fasten with rain tree wood spheres. Brass bells ring for good fortune.
Story Behind the Art:
Sawasdee kha! My name is Tiraphan Hasub, but everyone calls me by my nickname, Yo, which I got from my parents when I was a child. Yo means a kid who cries a lot, and that's exactly what I used to do then. I was very sensitive to everything, and thus cried a lot.I met my husband at university in Bangkok. I worked there for three years after graduating, and then got married. We moved back to Chiang Mai, where he is originally from, and he taught me the art of handcrafts. We now have a workshop and a daughter. People keep telling me that I am a good mother because I manage to combine motherhood and work, and that makes me happy.It hasn't always been easy though. It was a great challenge for me to start married life and a different type of work in a place that was foreign to me.You could say I'm a fashionista, always trying to look good by wearing nice dresses and jewelry. I believe many women think like me, and that's what inspired me to create jewelry that is original. My designs tend to be more traditional Thai than modern, so I'm thankful to Novica for showing my collections to the world
