Wondrous 18kt gold necklace made by the talented artisans of Turquoise Mountain Myanmar. The organically shaped gold flakes bring a beautiful warm light to the face and are full of 'Wabi Sabi', the accidental beauty of the imperfect.

Drawing on ancient Burmese symbols, Buddhist iconography, and the natural world of this beautiful South East Asian country for inspiration, Pippa has been working with Turquoise Mountain Myanmar for years. Each piece is handmade in Myanmar by artisans trained in traditional goldsmithing techniques. Providing meaningful livelihood skills and much needed employment in one of Asia’s poorest countries.

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.
