Story Behind the Art:
Thai artisan Michael Krainer says, 'My family and I launched our jewelry workshop in our humble apartment. We lived in a working class neighborhood in Bangkok where our friends and neighbors also worked from home. My wife is our main jewelry designer. Her flair and keen eye for original design has brought us our success. I started off as the craftsman and I feel like a little piece of my soul goes into each piece. I feel as though artisans give away a part of themselves in every bit of jewelry. For me, it is just as important being successful as well as providing for our five children. We mostly use 925 silver and a wide range of gemstones. We hope you like our designs. We send our greetings and love in every piece and look forward to sharing our collections with you for many years to come.'
