UNIQUE BOUTIQUE: Bangkoksmiths

Marilyn’s most famous tune still rings true – diamonds are still any girl’s best friend. But at Bangkoksmiths, a collective of Thai jewelry brands, Swarovski, silver, copper and even resin can be a girl’s best friend too.

Despite only occupying a corner at Siam Paragon’s accessory floor, Bangkoksmiths does stand out from the crowd of hiso-lady pleasing counters of blings thanks to its classic library-like décor. The black tiered shelves take on a role of a museum display, showcasing pieces from jewelry collections by four brands – Jogema, Matina Amanita, Trimode and Missiles – all of which offer distinctively interesting collections of playful and colourful accessories.

Bangkoksmiths was created in the hope of bringing Thai jewelry design industry onto the world stage. Four designer friends, one of them Manita Sukhahuta of Sretsis fame, came together to offer an array of quirky decorative pieces. Missiles is a platter of androgynous rock n’ roll inspired costume jewelries, while Matina is the complete opposite, with pastel, Swarovski-filled girly favorites. Jogema goes with shiny brass in its new chess collection, while Trimode keeps things fun and colourful with the use of unconventional jewelry materials, such as rubber and resin.

Though the pieces from the four brands are completely different, they all possess the same playful concept. Like Matina’s collection of girly flowers and bird rings, which can be mixed and matched to create a mini woodland of adorable creatures on your finger. Or a ring dipped in velvet dust by Trimode which once worn over time will reveal a gemstone within.
