Danai jewelry featuring natural flowers
"My name is Danai Leosawathiphong. I was born March 20, 1949 in northern Thailand. My grandfather was a Chinese immigrant from the Canton province. He emigrated to Thailand at the end of the 19th century when he was in his early twenties. He was a very hard working person trading goods all along the river and during that time he met my partner's grandfather.
"I studied business and left for England. Engineering interested me, and I graduated with an engineering degree from Leeds University. I met Ilkay, my wife there. She went to Brunel University where she graduated in polymer science.
"In 1976, Ilkay and I came back to Thailand. Originally my family and partner's family planned to get into mining. And in order to analyze the rocks, ores and minerals, we needed to set up a lab. Then my partner's father suggested that we could also use the lab to create something representative of the area, and we came up with the idea of covering natural products such as exotic flowers and plants with gold. Well, the easiest way was to experiment with copper.
"So we started electro-plating products. We got a small bathtub, filled it with an electrolytic solution and placed anodes in there. We placed flowers in as cathodes wired to a DC rectifier and went home. Of course, we could not wait to see the results, so we came back at 2 or 3 in the morning. Yes, the flower should be nice by now. We took them out and… Wow! Only the wires were left! We tried and tried until we had our first flower covered with metal, but it really looked like a shrimp. So this experimenting lasted about two years. We had to start working professionally, because our process is not electro-plating, but rather electro-forming. Basically with electro-forming the layer of plating is much thicker and the surface better leveled than with electro-plating.
"It was a very demanding and challenging time for Ilkay and me because there were so many details involved in trying to get our products off the ground, working on packaging and advertising, etc. We had to run this activity like a proper business and, with our scientific backgrounds, this was another challenge. It was just as we were launching our product on the market that my partner married. His wife is in charge of marketing and has helped us tremendously.
"This new venture gave flavor to my life. It has enabled me to provide employment to others in my community, and they can provide for their families. From the very beginning, one of our main objectives has been to employ women, as there were few job offers for women then. Another main objective has been the environment, because we have to deal with chemicals. We reprocess everything we use and do not throw anything away. All our boxes are made out of recycled paper as well.
"I think our creations have a lot of potential. I do not think they will go out of fashion, because people generally love flowers. It is so interesting when you work for yourself. For the past 20 years or so, I have had good and bad times but I enjoyed it all. It is pretty much like black coffee – bitter, sweet and very nice."

These earrings are stunning! They are so unique and are even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. The colors fade from a lovely shade of blue at the top to a beautiful purple at the bottom. I love them!!! The quality is amazing and they arrived very quickly. I purchased them as gifts and I will definitely be ordering again for myself!

The pin was just as colorful, glossy and vibrant as the picture shows. The pin itself was just right -- not so large as to be tacky and ostentatious, but not so small that would vanish into the folds of your clothes, either. It was a gift, and came packaged nicely for presentation, which was a nice touch.

I actually bought 2 pairs of these beautifully enhanced Petal Rain earrings constructed using natural Thai orchid petals because I know and trust Danai to deliver a product that is an accurate representation of what he advertises from previous purchases from him. And, therefore, I wasn't disappointed when they arrived... carefully packaged and ready for gift giving! I kept one beautiful pair for myself and gave the other pair to a friend for her b'day and she promptly put them on wearing a big smile!! Thank you Danai!!

I bought my very first piece of jewelry art from Danai over 10 years ago; a beautifully dainty pink orchid necklace. I was so inspired, so in awe of his creations that it literally inspired me to start making resin jewelry of my own. I've come pretty far, but I still can't even come close to his level of mastery! This is probably the 5th or 6th piece I've purchased from him over the years for myself, definitely at least the 15th purchase in total when including gifts and such. Yet each time I open a new box, I still find myself gasping in awe! "Orchid Magic" is just stunningly beautiful! The colors are deep and rich, the resin is perfectly applied (and believe me, I now know how HARD that is to do!!), and the gold accents on the edges of the petals is just enough without being too much. It's just sheer perfection and I'm sure I'll be buying more over the next decade. Keep it up, Danai! Your work is LOVED!

I liked these earrings so much and the price point was so reasonable that I bought a second pair on sale. I know that there is a real leaf encased in the plating, so if the first pair wears out I will have another one ready. I know exactly what leaf this artist chose to preserve: Dischidia ruscifolia, a vining relative of the Hoya family which is very popular among plant collectors. I do grow this plant along with many Hoyas. A hanging basket overflowing with this Dischidia's vines appears as thousands of tiny green hearts, and gives rise to the common name of the "thousand hearts vine." I own several pieces of jewelry from this artist and these earrings are of the same high quality construction as his other work.

My only request would be to have the option to get solid gold posts, or at least have a few options for posts. I have very sensitive ears, and I have to coat the posts with clear fingernail polish. I love them.
