This 'Lady Butterfly' necklace by Independent Artisans is an exquisite piece that captures the blissful image of a butterfly alighting on flowers in a Balinese garden. Crafted by artisan Buana, the image is rendered in silver, set with sleek carnelian and faceted amethysts that total 1.5 carats. The combination finish enhances the intricate details. The pendant hangs from a rolo chain, making this a beautiful and meaningful accessory that embodies the grace of nature and Balinese artistry.
Born in Sukawati, Bali in 1974, I Wayan Buana grew up surrounded by the island’s rich artistic traditions. He discovered his passion for silver jewelry in childhood, learning the craft in the sixth grade under the guidance of the father of artisan Komang Wijayana. By his teenage years, Buana was already creating pieces independently, refining skills that would shape his life’s work. Overcoming early struggles and economic hardship, he persevered with faith and dedication, eventually building a workshop where he now leads a team of 18 artisans. Using simple tools and traditional methods, he transforms silver into intricate designs inspired by Balinese culture, ancestral motifs, and the island’s natural beauty. His creations, including favorites like the “Face of the Moon” ring, embody both personal expression and cultural preservation. Recognized as a best-selling artisan in Bali, Buana continues to craft jewelry that sustains his family and shares Balinese artistry with the world.
This necklace is crafted from sterling silver, carnelian, and amethyst with a combination finish. It weighs 0.46 oz and measures 19.8 inches L by 2 mm W, with the pendant measuring 1.9 inches L by 1.3 inches W by 0.2 inches D. It features a rolo chain and a lobster claw clasp. Made in Indonesia.
