Khao Pad Necklace

$390.00

A necklace inspired by khao pad—Thai fried rice—bright, aromatic, and balanced, made with rice pearls, citrine, afghan jade beads, red coral, and clear quartz.

Khao pad is cooked quickly and eaten hot.

Rice fried in oil, egg folded through, aromatics added at the end—often finished with chili and fresh herbs to lift the dish.

This necklace draws from that immediacy.

Rice pearls form the base, repeated and steady, recalling grains kept light and separate in the pan. Citrine beads reference egg, adding warmth and color throughout the piece. Afghan jade beads appear sparingly, recalling fresh herbs folded in at the end, while red coral punctuates the necklace like chili—bright, direct, and intentional. A clear quartz bead introduces a quiet sheen, catching light the way oil coats rice as it cooks.

Khao pad is not heavy food. It’s balanced, responsive, and adaptable—adjusted to taste, eaten often, and never overthought. This piece carries that same sensibility, meant to sit lightly on the body and move easily through daily wear.
