These Gold Accented Amethyst Dangle Earrings from Bali 'Beautiful Cradle' by Independent Artisans are a stunning accessory that beautifully cradles gemstones. Crafted by Balinese artisan Ari Gunawan, these dangle earrings feature a drop-shaped sterling silver frame with detailed bamboo patterns. Lovely swirl patterns of 18k gold cradle two oval, faceted amethyst gemstones that total 2.5 carats. The piece reflects Ari's dedication to his craft and his mission to sustain his family and ensure his children's future through his artistry, blending tradition with a modern vision.
Raised in a Balinese village famed for its silverwork, this artisan is the first of two children and was introduced to the craft by his grandfather, one of the village’s most respected silversmiths. Though initially reluctant, he grew passionate about the artistry and discipline of silver jewelry, later refining his skills through both family guidance and vocational studies in modern design. Now married with two sons, he works alongside his wife to create pieces inspired by the beauty of everyday life in Bali. With access to local materials and traditional tools, he combines heritage techniques with personal creativity, supported by a small team of artisans. For him, jewelry-making is more than a livelihood—it is a legacy to sustain his family and ensure his children’s future. Each design reflects both tradition and modern vision, rooted in Bali’s cultural heritage and his own dedication to craft.
Handcrafted in Indonesia from .925 sterling silver, amethyst, and 18k gold accents, these hook earrings have a combination finish. They measure 1.6 inches long by 0.7 inches wide by 0.2 inches deep. The stone's color may vary slightly.
