These Rectangular Lava Stone and 925 Silver Earrings from Bali 'Bars of Midnight' by Independent Artisans are a sophisticated pair of dangle earrings with a modern, dark vibe. Designed by Balinese artisan Nyoman Rupadana, they feature rectangular bars of midnight black lava stone. Each earring is accented with elegant sterling silver dot and spiral motifs, which add a touch of traditional Balinese artistry to the contemporary design. The combination finish enhances the contrast between the dark lava stone and the gleaming silver.
Born in Gianyar in 1969, Nyoman Rupadana grew up in a large farming family, the seventh of nine children. To help his parents, he began working in a jewelry workshop at a young age, earning coins for food and clothing. Over time, silverwork became his livelihood, and in 1994 he married his neighbor, with whom he shares both a family and his craft. Nyoman’s designs combine Balinese motifs and engravings with contemporary fashion trends, reflecting both tradition and adaptability. Though he faced hardships, including economic setbacks after the 2002 Bali terrorist attack, he persevered with resilience and faith. Today, he and his wife create jewelry that embodies cultural heritage, dedication, and artistry. For Nyoman, the joy of seeing his designs appreciated in the market is the true reward, a reflection of his parents’ lesson to honor one’s gifts through hard work.
Handcrafted from .925 sterling silver and lava stone, these hook earrings measure 1.7 inches H x 0.6 inches W x 0.2 inches D and feature a combination finish.
