This 'Sweet Protection' by Independent Artisans is a charming harmony ball necklace that offers a sense of loving protection. Designed by Balinese artisan Nyoman Sukartini, the petite sterling silver pendant is covered with traditional Balinese jawan, or silver granules, and features a textured globe protected by polished tendrils. A brass globe inside makes a soft chiming sound, creating a beautiful amulet that is both meaningful and artistic.
Balinese artisan Nyoman Sukartini has been immersed in tradition and artistry since childhood. Raised by a mother who instilled in her the values of devotion to family, faith, and community, she also learned practical and cultural skills, from cooking to preparing ceremonial offerings. At 16, she pursued formal training at Sekolah Menengah Industri Kerajinan (SMIK) in Gianyar, where she studied crafts including batik and ceramics before apprenticing with a silversmith. Jewelry soon became her chosen medium of expression. Today, she collaborates with local artisans to create sterling silver jewelry that honors Bali’s cultural beauty while incorporating both traditional and modern designs. Each piece reflects her heritage as well as her creativity, offering wearers a connection to Bali’s artistry. Nyoman sees her craft not only as design but as a way of sharing her culture with the world and uplifting her artisan community.
This necklace is crafted from 925 sterling silver and brass with a combination finish. It features a rolo chain with a lobster claw clasp and measures 20 inches long. The pendant measures 1 inch L x 0.7 inches W x 0.7 inches D.
