The Hibiscus rosa flower with its five large open petals and delicate gold stamen is such an optimistic flower, so beautifully worked by Tin Win in Myanmar, a feat of skilled goldsmithing.
 
Drawing on ancient Burmese symbols, Buddhist iconography, and the natural world of this beautiful south East Asian country for inspiration, Pippa has been working with Turquoise Mountain Myanmar for 4 years. Each piece is hand made in Myanmar by artisans trained in traditional goldsmithing techniques. Providing meaningful livelihood skills and much needed employment in one of Asia’s poorest countries.
