Born in Celuk in 1991, Asmara Putra is the son of renowned silversmith Wayan Asmana, from whom he inherited both skill and passion for jewelry. Surrounded by silver craftsmanship from childhood, he began learning techniques as a teenager before establishing his own workshop after earning a degree in English literature. Inspired by Bali’s traditional engraving motifs, his jewelry combines sterling silver with gemstone beads, bringing fresh detail to time-honored artistry. Though initially underestimated, Asmara turned criticism into motivation, refining his craft with perseverance until his work gained recognition. Today, he designs and creates alongside his wife and close friends, driven by a sense of responsibility as a husband and father. Guided by his father’s advice to live simply and work for the future, his jewelry reflects humility, resilience, and cultural pride, offering designs that honor Bali’s heritage while embracing contemporary creativity.
Handcrafted in Indonesia from .925 sterling silver, onyx, and tourmalinated quartz with a high-polish finish, this bracelet measures 6.8 inches L x 2 inches W.
