Thong Sri-Satchanalai Siamese Masterpieces


Until now, the unique style, excellent craftsmanship, and the beauty of Sukhothai gold, has made Sukhothai one of Thailand's most important gold ordnaments producer. The ornaments from Sukhothai, better know as THONG SRI-SATCHANALAI, have earned high reputations from Thai and foreigners alike.
The 99.99% Sukhothai gold bullion are melted into a shiny golden liquid, carefully molded and used to create the fine golden masterpieces. Each piece, comprising of 3-100 golden strings neatly knitted together with well-hidden joints, reflects the uniqueness of THONG SRI-SATCHANALAI similar to none other.
Furthermore, the various patterns inspired by the early Thai civilization set these bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings apart from others in the world. Most ideas are taken from ancient Thai art and legends such as the mural paintings along the walls of Wat Nang Phaya Temple.

     
Another characteristic of THONG SRI-SATCHANALAI is the colorful decoration using a special coloring technique instead of precious stones. The colors made from crushed rocks enable much finer details on the ornaments, and the red, green, blue, and sometimes white colors do not largely alter the weight of the gold.
Evidently, the value of these Thai ornaments is not solely in the gold, but also the superb craftsmanship that reflects the unique Thai arts and culture passed on through generations of proud Artists.
