Revival Accessories is a Thai company run by Chaichan Jantarasuwan. Based in Bangkok, Revival offers lavishly designed pieces including statement necklaces, artistic headpieces and opulent earrings for an affordable price.

You will find every accessory has been handmade with the finest materials including semi-precious stones, leather and lace. The pieces are certainly exotic and you can see that Jantarasuwan has been influenced by his own Asian culture and origins with the bright colours selected and use of feathers; often seen as a sign of good luck.

Various techniques are used in the making of the costume jewellery such as embroidery, needlework and wiring and, in regards to the gemstones, the website advises: “The stones used are predominantly kept in their raw, uncut form and are intricately worked with wire, beads and other materials.” The natural element also shines through in the appearance of the collar-like necklaces, especially that which uses mother of pearl fragments and turquoise howlite stone (see below).

Revival is already making waves in the world of fashion having been mentioned in the likes of Elle, InStyle and Cleo magazine, where the selected accessories were styled with office wear, evening fashion and even a bikini; showing the versatility of the designs’ pieces.

Many of the earrings, necklaces and even the head pieces would work best with a simple outfit in order for the stunning items to take centre stage. But due to the diverse range of colours, materials and shapes, there will be a piece suitable for every outfit out there. Add edge to a simple vest top and jeans, or colour to a black mini-dress, or even wear with a kaftan and sandals for true striking, summer style.

Currently being stocked in Siam Paragon, Bangkok you can also purchase the items online simply by visiting the website here no matter where you are from. Prices are around the mid-£100 mark and due to the exquisitely dazzling pieces, this truly is a remarkable low expense and well worth it. Statement jewellery is a must have for anybody; fashion guru or not and when you are investing in such a piece, it’s worth splashing out that little bit more.
