Mangala Royally Auspicious Collection, 2007
The definitive collection of the Thai Kings
Official Symbol Sri Navaratna, the Nine
Sacred Gems was revealed to the world on December
1st, 2006 at the Four Seasons Hotels Grand Ballroom
in Bangkok.
Astral Gemstone Talismans (AGTs) designer
Richard Shaw-Brown II just completed his 9th collection
of precious jewelry Mangala Royally
Auspicious 2007. He created this collection
as an accolade to 9 generations of the Chakri Dynasty
and specifically dedicated it to Bhumibol Adulyadej
(Rama 9 Maharaja).
This year Brown focuses exclusively on the Nine-Gems
Navaratna because it is the Official Symbol
of the King in Thailand and instantly recognizable
as Sacrosanct and Royal in all SE Asian nations (regardless
of religion). And AGTs singular creations exalt
the Nine-Gems Talisman in an exquisitely Royal manner:
with flawless Ruby as the heart of each design.
Always one for favorable numerology, Richard explains,
I was inspired to make this precious-jewelry
collection the best ever in honor of Rama 9 to commemorate
His Majestys 60th year on the Kingdom of Thailands
Throne. And this year the numbers are right. You see,
2+0+0+7 = 9!
