About Mai 12 Collection Silver Jewelry
Mai 12 Collection is a set of silver jewelry that includes a bangle and a ring. The design is inspired by the twelve indented corners, known as Mai 12, a feature of traditional Thai architecture in which the corners of a square structure are recessed. The collection reinterprets the indented stupa form by twisting the shape and shifting the corners to create dimension. A grajang pattern decorates the surfaces and gives the pieces a contemporary character. Production is carried out in silver with computer aided design and manufacturing technology.
