This Cultured Freshwater Pearl and Sterling Silver Link Bracelet 'Ring a Bell' by Rosalia Tarigan is a pretty charm bracelet where linked rings of textured silver shimmer. Javanese artisans use a series of sterling silver hoops to handcraft the bracelet, treating the precious metal with a subtle textured finish. Two charms—a cultured freshwater pearl and an engraved sterling silver bauble—dangle from the toggle clasp. The design celebrates resilience, collaboration, and the enduring soul of silver jewelry.
In the early 2000s, a business trip to East Java introduced this designer to a fading tradition: local silver workshops that had once thrived but were now closing. Determined to revive the craft, she partnered with Ibu Indun, a widowed silversmith, to restore an old workshop. Together with her sister and extended family members, they rebuilt production using traditional tools and techniques while blending modern design elements. She oversees design, marketing, and office work, while Ibu Indun leads the craftsmanship. Their collections combine silver’s timeless beauty with pearls and gemstones sourced from Bali, where partner artisans assist in gem-setting and finishing. Though the journey began with door-to-door sales, government sponsorships soon opened doors to national and international exhibitions. Today, the workshop sustains families in East Java, with each design celebrating resilience, collaboration, and the enduring soul of silver jewelry.
Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver and a cultured freshwater pearl with a combination finish, this bracelet weighs 0.46 oz. It measures 7.5 inches L x 0.6 inches W and fastens with a toggle clasp.
