Meet The Artist Behind The Masterpiece
Aoy
Sawasdee ka! My name is Rudklow Patanaanunwong, but everyone calls me Aoy. I come from a warm family environment from Bangkok, though I am an only child. I hold Bachelor and Master Degrees in Economy from Northeastern University. My intention after graduation was to work for the Bank of Thailand, but I changed my mind when I met my husband. We got married and I moved to Chiang Mai, where my husband has a silversmith workshop. I began to work there to help him. At first we only sold our silver jewelry Chiang Mai, then we began to receive orders from different places, some from abroad. I speak English, so we thought it a good idea to pursue a place in the international market, so we increased our collections to include more trendy designs.

I do not care for luxury, I am very happy with my life as it is now. The greatest challenge I have had to face was moving to Chiang Mai. I had no idea what it would be like, and I didn’t know anyone other than my husband. I was greatly impressed by the warm welcome I received from my husband and his relatives. They are so loving, and I have such a happy life, that I am very glad I moved here. I am very proud that we get to promote our silver jewelry in the international market. My goal for the future is that someday our silver jewelry will be well-known.

Stunning!
I was hesitant to order these at first. Sometimes the pictures look so different than the real thing. This was not the case with these. They are beautiful. Delicate. Lightweight, you can’t tell you have them on unless they brush your neck. I absolutely LOVE these earrings! I got so many compliments also. I definitely recommend them.

Eye catching
Unusual design allows a lot of bright movement. I recieved many compliments on these. They didn’t travel as well as I wished and squished a bit. That fault is my own, just know that you’ll need secure backers to keep them in your ears if you’re active and a small hard sided case or box to keep their shape when not in use.

Fragile and easily bent.
Packaged in a ziplock bag inside a padded paper mailing envelope. The earrings arrived bent and requiring careful repair. They are lovely but cannot endure crushing during shipment. They can tangle easily so care is needed with storage. Yes, unique and light but almost too fragile.

Very Pretty!
I wanted something different to wear which is what I tend to look for and these were perfect. I received so many compliments on these earrings. They were light and long enough. Just a nice price of earrings to add to your collection.

Beautiful!!
I bought these as a gift because I have other things I have purchased from NOVICA and love all of them. I think they are beautiful, good quality and a story to go with them. I bought a necklace and ring years ago and get many compliments, I always brag about NOVICA!!!

Gets Deformed easy
These earrings are cute, but the design could be better. The spiral part easily gets chushed/deformed. They came in an envelope and when I pulled them out one was flattened. I had to try and get the spirals to match. I have them pretty close now but I have to be cautious not to tug on them at all or they get out of shape again. They are cute, they just need to be handled gently.

Great gift for hard to please mother-in-law
Bought these as a gift for my mother-in-law, and she LOVED them. She can be hard to please, so this was definitely a win.They came in a nice handmade decorative paper box with information about the person who designed and crafted the earrings, and how their sale helps people.

Quality
These earrings are so unique. It’s too bad that they so light and I’m sure will not last long. I was going to give them as a gift. I should have read the reviews first before ordering.
