The Craftsman

My name is Yui—though my friends often call me Alexa. As a Thai native, I've always had a love for traditional art and exploring the world. My career journey has been wonderfully diverse, with experience in fields ranging from IT and Jewellery to automotive, interior design, travel, and property management. My own backpacking adventures kicked off in 2003, and I was instantly captivated by India. I returned multiple times between 2004 and 2010, and it was there, inspired by the incredible friends I met, that I began to appreciate and create macrame jewellery.

Life has a beautiful way of moving forward, and in 2021—after many wonderful years living on Koh Phangan, Thailand—I decided to follow my heart and move to the UK.

While I do miss those sunny days on the beach, the change of scenery gave me the perfect opportunity to pour my energy into my true passion: Crystal Macrame Jewellery. I love blending the intricate beauty of traditional Thai drawing art into my freehand designs, creating unique pieces that tell their own story.

I truly hope you find a piece here that speaks to you, whether it’s a treat for yourself or a special gift for someone you cherish.
