Thailand's Danai presents an alluring pendant necklace featuring garnets and gold-plated natural rose petals in red, the color of passion. This sentiment is something he is familiar with, as he states that his jewelry business, "...gave flavor to my life. It has enabled me to provide employment to others in my community, and they can provide for their families." Rose petals are cut into round shapes, gold-flashed and covered with resin before being combined with garnet beads and 22k gold-plated brass cable chain to form the necklace. A lobster claw clasp securely closes the attractive accessory.

Please note that because natural flowers are used, no two necklaces will look exactly the same.
