These Amethyst and Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings 'Native Charm' are a pretty piece by Dewi Putera. The earrings showcase all that is traditional to Balinese jewelry, including the motifs known as jawan (tiny silver granules or dots) and bun (curled silver wire). The sterling silver earrings are set with sparkling drops of amethyst. This piece celebrates Balinese culture and emphasizes the unique beauty of handmade silver jewelry.
Born in Gianyar, Bali, Dewi Putera — whose given name is Putu Lesari Dewi — grew up in a family of artists and inherited her father’s love of drawing and painting. Self-taught through books and guided by imagination, she now channels her creativity into jewelry design, sketching her ideas before collaborating with skilled silversmiths who bring them to life using traditional tools. Her work celebrates Balinese culture and emphasizes the unique beauty of handmade silver jewelry, often incorporating uncommon gemstones to give each piece distinction. Alongside her husband, she has built a workshop that provides employment to more than 20 artisans, helping to preserve both livelihoods and cultural traditions. A devoted mother of three daughters, Dewi believes that happiness and hardship are fleeting, but art endures. Through her designs, she shares the spirit of Bali with the world while honoring the resilience and artistry of her community.
Handcrafted in Indonesia, these earrings are made from 925 sterling silver and amethyst. They feature a combination finish, measure 1.9 inches L x 0.6 inches W, and secure with hook clasps.
