The World of
Thom Sirivattha

More than 30 years have passed.
It is a time of quiet exploration, built up to engrave a single line. Tom's jewelry does not follow trends. It embodies only the "essence" that has been inherited, refined, and carefully selected.

​

Tom traces his origins as a jeweler back to San Francisco.
I applied to **Alan Revere Academy**.
Casting, stone setting, waxwork—we thoroughly learned every aspect of jewelry making from both theoretical and practical perspectives, establishing the philosophy that "beauty is born from an understanding of the process."

​

However, his interest wasn't limited to "making." Next, he ventured into the extremely solitary realm of sculpture.
Having passed through a highly competitive selection process with only five successful applicants, she studied the extremely intricate engraving techniques used on Western firearms and knives at **GRS Glendale Corporation** in Kansas.
The tension cultivated in a world where no compromise is allowed has brought a "quiet dignity" to his carvings.

​

Eventually, Tom learns that not only metal but also "stone" can possess a will of its own. He visits the Navajo people, experiencing their stone culture and spirituality, and in Hawaii, he acquires advanced stoneworking techniques at the Lapidary Class.
Currently, as an instructor, she is giving back her knowledge while creating new expressions that fuse Hawaiian jewelry with various natural stones. In many workshops, production is divided among different people.
A sculptor focuses solely on carving and doesn't understand the whole picture. But Tom is different. He understands every step of the process and designs with a comprehensive view of the entire process. This perspective is what makes his jewelry truly complete from the moment it's finished.

​

His sculptures extend beyond gold and silver to include hard metals such as stainless steel.
This is why we can offer "uncompromising sculptural beauty" even to people with metal allergies or those who overuse their hands on a daily basis.

​

Tom's original designs, the Silhouette® Collection and Expression® Line, are copyrighted works that fuse sculpture and Hawaiian motifs, and have become symbolic of LAHANA.

​

He has also created bangles worn by winners of numerous official pageants, including Miss Hawaii, Mrs. Hawaii, and Miss Teen Hawaii, over the years. In 2023, when Miss Hawaii won Miss USA, Tom's bangles attracted global attention on the Miss World stage.

​

Furthermore, recognized for his skills and character, Tom is a member of Le Progress de l'Oceanie Lodge, the oldest Freemason organization in Hawaii (in the United States, most US presidents, including George Washington, are Freemasons). He has created numerous Freemason badges (Photo ②) and has been recommended as "one of the finest jewelers in Hawaii."

​

and--
Tom has been officially granted the right by Lodge Le Progres de l'Oceanie, a Hawaiian Freemason organization, to create jewelry (Master Jewel) identical in design to that worn by King Kalakaua, who was a member of this Freemasonry. (Photo 3) This Freemasonry organization also includes members of Hawaiian royalty, such as King Kamehameha, and currently operates Iolani Palace.

​

Hawaiian jewelry originated for royalty. Even today, very few people have access to this "authentic lineage." Shen of the music unit Def Tech is one of those captivated by Tom's work.
Rings, Zippo lighters, fishhooks, medallions—his jewelry quietly exudes a strong presence, whether on stage or in the media.

The jewelry created by Tom's hands connects the past and the present, technique and spirit, and the "will" of the person who wears it.

It was born to continue shining brightly across time.
This is Shining Craft.
