Anklet “Freebird” – Unakite (Epidote)

One day, on a market in Bangkok, I discovered a small shop that was sparkling with colourful gemstones.

A lovely woman sat on the floor and tinkered with her jewellery. Various small gemstone balls and lots of brightly coloured polyester threads were scattered around them.

She greeted every passing visitor with a beaming smile and invited them to her small tinkering room.

Her pretty little daughter kept her company and draped the finished products on the shelves. And if her mother got stuck with her English skills, the little one took over the conversation with customers like a professional.

We were introduced to all of her magic in jewellery form sitting on the floor.

We have been working with our Thai friend Mae since the beginning of Weltentänzer. Our customers and us just love their beautiful jewellery designs. They are simple and timeless and her hippie macrame jewellery stands out from the others.

Every year we look forward to visit her small shop again.
