My condolences to all the people of Thailand and all those who like myself, looked up to HM Queen Sirikit. As we spent a lot of time in Thailand already in the 60’s and 70’s she was an idol to me. I had a photo of her on my wall. She was beautiful and good as a Queen should be. Like her husband, HM King Bumibol, HM Queen Sirikit did so much for the development of Thailand. One special memory; she created a foundation and training for the preservation of the traditional art in the craft of using jewel beetle wings in jewelry and accessories. I was creating jewelry with jewel beetle wings and had wished to be able to attend. https://www.thailandnow.in.th/arts-culture/h-m-queen-sirikit-the-queen-mother-preserver-of-beetle-wing-crafts/ I was in Bangkok for HM the Kings funeral processions in 2016. An unforgettable experience. I am sorry to not be able to pay my respects to the Queen. May she rest in peace. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 - - - #rip #condolences #hmqueensirikit #queensirikit #queen #bangkok #thailand #monarch #jewelbeetles #beetlewing #preservation #tradition #jewelrycraft #queensirikitinstitute #jewelry #suzetteoneofakindjewelry

Handcrafted by these hands! It has been super busy (nothing new 😂) but I am always happy to make time to check in to see the team of ‘Hoi Sang, Unique Lao Jewelry’ Though sales of any kind of merchandise has declined in certain sectors in certain countries, Laos has had a rise in tourism but not in generous spending and with the high tariffs put on goods, things are not looking so positive. But the lao are survivors, and even the jewelers have taken on second jobs to make ends meet. Therefore, do consider a beautifully handcrafted holiday gift of value from Laos. Each item a unique piece of wearable art, such as these parasol earrings available in sterling silver and gold.

I have been wearing my lao elephant ring everyday while working here in Laos. I had forgotten how meaningful it is. Laos and Elephants cannot be separated and therefore an important theme of the Hoi Sang Unique Lao Jewelry collection. Did you know that Laos was once named, Lan Xang, the Land of a Million Elephants? A land where elephants roamed in large herds! These elephant rings are available in my shop under ‘Give Back’ @suzetteoneofakindjewelry - - - #lao #elephant #lanxang #collection #hoisang #luangprabang #laos #tradition #heritage #perserve #design #created #handcrafted #uniquelaojewelry #oneofakind #1of1 #jewelry #jewellery #jewelrywithapurpose #giveback #suzetteoneofakindjewelry

One of the very first of the ‘Hoi Sang, Unique Lao Jewelry’ collection. These 22k dangling earrings are exact replicas of family heirloom earrings. ‘Hoi Sang’ was the first project I created 14 years ago to help preserve and develop the traditional craft of jewelry making while helping to better the lives of craftsmen through selling to visitors in-country. My personal goal, achieved, was to, after 10 years, set the team up in Laos to take over the business completely. But as I continue with other projects (see @nextgenlaos) I still look in on the team of Hoi Sang to see how they are continuing on their own. Interested in anything from the jewelry collection ‘Hoi Sang’ from Laos, such as these beautiful chandelier earrings in 22k gold or sterling silver? Contact with DM here! See more in my Webshop www.suzette.eu under ‘Give Back’ Each piece is unique, from the shapes of nature and tradition to the individually hand created piece of jewelry.

From Trash to Treasure The world faces a garbage dilemma. Trash threatens to take over, yet we continue to consume. “I am one of millions producing trash daily,” says jeweler and Pearl River artist-in-residence Suzette Gabriel-Schoebitz. “I do not want to leave my grandchildren such a polluted world.” Instead of letting trash go to “waste,” Suzette says, much of it can be repaired, reused, or recycled. Such is philosophy behind this collection. It began with pieces her clients no longer wanted. Rather than throw them out, Suzette supplemented them with parts she found in flea markets, second-hand stores, and trading posts — turning others’ trash into renewed treasure. This exhibition and performance, Suzette has dubbed ‘trash mob’, is created from a year of her own collected trash made into wearable art. A statement and happening with NYU dancers performing during rush hour on Broadway, an exclamation about the situation of garbage in our world today.
