Upcycle jewelry

            The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) encompass a global vision for promoting stability, prosperity, and sustainability. These goals align with Thailand’s development agenda, particularly through the implementation of the BCG model (Bio-Circular-Green Economy). The BCG model aims to optimize the utilization of natural resources, ensuring environmental protection and fostering an upcycling process that promotes recycling. 

        On March 26, the Faculty of Gems held the Gems and Jewelry project exhibition at the Semi Outdoor G floor of Central Chanthaburi. The event featured two distinguished speakers: Asst. Prof. Worachai Roubroumlert, a Jewelry Design lecturer at the Faculty of Gems, and Mrs. Varanuch Suthichannapha, the owner of Beloved Batik Studio. The exhibition included workshops and showcased the upcycled products created by the faculty in collaboration with Mr. Varanuch Suthichannapha. Together, they designed costume jewelry using waste and undervalued materials like sponges, paper clips, plastic bags, bottles, bottle caps, and rags. Furthermore, the batik cloths produced by Beloved Batik Studio are dyed using natural substances such as clay and fruits like mangosteen and mango leaves. These unique cloths, known as “Chan Tone,” reflect their sustainable origins.
