22kt Gold PSTM Myanmar Jasmine Vine Ring

£2,170

This piece is handmade in Myanmar and is available for pre-order. Please allow 8-12 weeks for the piece to be completed.

Made in Myanmar with the skilled artisans of Turquoise Mountain. The aim of the programme is to train and provide safe creative employment for young artisans. Each group of young men and women apprentices in the workshop either go on to open their own businesses in their home areas or stay on and go to the workshop in Yangon, it is wonderful to see how learning new skills blossoms their sense of self-confidence and their pride at being able to create beautiful things.

The vine ring is an ancient nature motif of love, life and eternity as it twists around the finger.

A band has to be the most important piece of jewellery in anyone’s life. Each ring is made to be worn every day for the rest of your life, a symbol of love and commitment. We are now producing wedding rings with artisans who have trained in goldsmithing and now they have a sustainable safe job which has the ability to change lives. We are choosing solidarity with the artisans and commitment to cleaner and ethical production. In a world in so much chaos, this small gesture has a wonderful knock-on effect for many. Fairmined gold from Bolivia, gold bands made by goldsmiths in Kabul, Myanmar and Syrian refugees in Jordan.

Meet The Maker

Tin Win

Like many of the most renowned goldsmiths in Myanmar, Tin Win comes from Ramree Island, Rakhine State. He grew up immersed in the goldsmith life, with a thin line between the workshop and the playground. It was the wish of his parents that he became a goldsmith, and he moved to Yangon in 1996 to study under the master U Kyaw Than.

He brings a deep philosophy and creativity to his work best expressed in his own words, “The most important thing of handmade jewellery is how you use your mind. You need to be creative, think about the form, structure, beauty and use of one piece. You need to think and make. Brain and hands”.

With over 20 years of experience, Ko Tin Win is now a master goldsmith working at the Turquoise Mountain workshop. He has helped create iconic pieces designed in collaboration with UK award-winning designer Pippa Small.
