On my last trip to Thailand in September, I visited Ai, a designer I have sourced from many times in the past. She has always had really unusual products, but she tended toward heavier pieces.
Since the price of almost a
ll silver jewelry is to some extent based on the weight of the silver from which it is made, her pieces tend to be more expensive than other suppliers. Some of her line was special enough that I could justify spending the extra money on, but a lot o
f it wasn't.
This time when I met with her, I was totally blown away. Not only was her line outstanding in the way it looked, she had incorporated some mother of pearl, gemstones and marcasite to spice things up a bit.
Best of all, her pieces looked substantial, but she had spent a lot of time making the weights lighter. The net result was a line that has lots of pop, and lots of bang (for the buck).
I bought pretty wide from her line as a result. The photos I took are nice, but really they don't do the pieces justice. To see what we have, visit this wholesale silver jewelry link.
