In Thailand, newborn babies are given sterling silver anklets that are adorned with tiny bells. This traditional custom allows the parents to hear their child at all times and thus helps keep them safe. It is also believed that the sound of the bells wards off bad spirits and protects the baby from harm. This traditional custom is celebrated by Thai artisan Suwit who transforms sterling silver into this gorgeous pair of adorable baby anklets. Simple lines decorate these handcrafted pieces, which can expand as your child grows. Symbolizing a beautiful tradition, these adorable bracelets are a great piece of jewelry for young children.

Artisan Suwit hails from the northern city of Chiang Mai, Thailand, and has been practicing the art of jewelry making for over 20 years. With the support of her husband, Withaya, she was able to open a small jewelry store in Chiang Mai that specializes in unique sterling silver pieces. Inspired by the many Thai Hilltribes in the region, their jewelry designs blend modern trends with traditional elements. “I have been working with silver jewelry for over two decades, and throughout that time, I’ve been motivated by my passion for the craft and the desire to create meaningful pieces. It brings me great happiness to continue the tradition of jewelry making, and I hope to pass it forward for generations to come.” – Suwit
