These Chalcedony, Blue Topaz and Sterling Silver Earrings by Independent Artisans are a "Tropical Tendril" of elegance and Balinese artistry. Created by Dewi Putera, a designer who channels her imagination into jewelry and collaborates with skilled silversmiths, these pretty dangle earrings are a celebration of Balinese culture. They feature softly translucent chalcedony cabochons crowned by ornate sterling silver cones with traditional motifs. The design is further accented by sparkling blue topaz, delicately "ensnared by silver tendrils." This piece is a testament to the artist's ability to blend heritage techniques with uncommon gemstones, creating a distinct and timeless accessory.
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 from sterling silver with a combination finish, these hook earrings feature chalcedony and blue topaz stones. They measure 1.7 inches L x 0.5 inches W x 0.4 inches D.
