This Handcrafted Lotus Theme Sterling Silver and Carnelian Ring 'Red Lotus' by Independent Artisans is a beautiful cocktail ring that blends traditional and modern design. Designed by Rosalia Tarigan, the ring features carnelian that evokes a red lotus amid seed pods, and showcases Bali's traditional silver granule work. The piece is a testament to the artisan's determination to revive a fading craft 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 Indonesia with .925 sterling silver and carnelian, this ring has a combination finish. The ring's front measures 0.7 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a band width of 5 mm.
