18kt Gold PSTM Myanmar Secret Garden Ruby Earrings

£3,910

18kt gold earrings featuring twinkling stones of ruby, handmade with care by the talented artisans of Turquoise Mountain Myanmar.

The collection is called the Secret Garden as the gold flowers, trees and butterflies can flourish in a hidden place where symbolically one can find internal freedom and peace. 

The butterfly is a poignant symbol of transformation and rebirth which the world certainly feels it has gone through in these last troubled two years. 

Many of the Buddhist goldsmiths we work with in Myanmar have a strong practice of daily meditation and it has no doubt given them strength through difficult times as has having a safe place to work and create beautiful things with their hands and despite the many logistical difficulties we remain committed to working with them.

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.
