This home studio in Silom isn’t just some aesthetic hideout but it’s lived. Old bones, fresh beats and a whole lot of hustle behind closed doors.
Tangkwa, the owner, caught the tooth jewellery fever all the way in Barcelona, where ‘grillz’ ruled the streets. Naturally, she had to try tooth gems out herself and from there Tangkwa never looked back. As she puts it, ‘I fell in love with how they made my smile feel uniquely mine.’ That spark stuck.
Back in Thailand, it was all about crystal kits and endless trial and error tutorials. Not one to settle, Tangkwa reached out to Anya Maneechai, a London-based tooth gem connoisseur, to get the real insider knowledge.
Fast forward two years and gemming has become her obsession and craft. What started as a magnet for European visitors chasing the trend at a killer Thai price has evolved into a local hotspot. Tangkwa has seen it all at Seventh Floor – stories unfolding, beauty traditions clashing and blending as well as people’s identities shining through the way they choose to gem up.
She explains, ‘Most clients go for small and cute designs like hearts, butterflies and silver sets.’ But every now and then, someone drops in with a wild freestyle idea that shakes things up. The moment that sticks with her most was when twins came in for matching gems with perfectly synced design and placement. ‘It was like gemmed-up telepathy. I was obsessed!’
