This 'Soul Gleam' bracelet by Independent Artisans is a soulful and rugged accessory with a bold style. Designed by Balinese artisan Nyoman Ariawan, this unisex bracelet is a testament to the transformative power of craftsmanship. A black leather cord is carefully braided by hand, creating a comfortable yet striking band for the wrist. At its center, a sterling silver pendant with a hammered finish gleams with an earthy, reflective light, connecting the bracelet's rugged and refined elements. It closes with a secure sterling silver clasp, embodying a blend of tradition and modern design.
Born in Klungkung, Bali, this jewelry designer’s path began with humble beginnings and a childhood marked by resilience. With limited resources, he first experimented by carving wooden beads into a bracelet, sparking a lifelong passion for adornment. Supported by his family’s sacrifices, he pursued technical studies in Denpasar and later apprenticed under a renowned Balinese jewelry designer, where he honed his craft for over two decades, mastering both silver and gold. His work blends traditional Balinese motifs with modern techniques, often incorporating silver, stainless steel, leather, and semi-precious stones into distinctive designs. Today, he leads a small workshop, guiding artisans with precision and care, while nurturing a vision to empower disadvantaged communities through craft. Each creation reflects his dedication to quality, artistry, and the belief that jewelry can be both beautiful and transformative, connecting heritage with contemporary design.
Handcrafted from 925 sterling silver and braided black leather, this bracelet features a combination finish and a box clasp. It measures 8 inches in length by 0.2 inches in width.
