Growing up in a family heavily involved in the jewelry fabrication and retail industry, Darawalee' s interest in the craft began at a young age. She and her father would personalize small jewelry pieces using a hammer and stamp, and her mother's love for colored stones further sparked her interest. As she grew older, she collected tools and visited factories in Bangkok and the surrounding areas, honing her skills and developing an appreciation for both design and the industrial aspect of jewelry making.
