This 'Dusky Dew' necklace by Independent Artisans features a long, elegant leaf pendant at its center, handcrafted from sterling silver with a combination finish. Designed by Made Sugi, this necklace is accented with beads of dyed black onyx, adding an elegant and earthy vibe.

This necklace is a beautiful reflection of the artisan’s dedication and resilience, keeping Balinese traditions alive.
Born in Bali in 1975, Made Sugi was raised in a community where silversmithing thrives. Inspired by her surroundings, she learned the craft after helping in her husband’s workshop, gradually moving from cleaning and shaping silver to designing her own pieces. Together, they now lead a workshop of 15 artisans who use traditional tools to create intricate designs in silver, gemstones, and pearls. Her jewelry often features classic Balinese motifs such as jawan (silver bubbles) and bun (swirls), patterns that require great precision and skill. Despite personal challenges, including an injury to her hand, Made lives by the motto “never give up.” Her creations embody Balinese culture and artistry, offering jewelry that is both meaningful and distinctive. Through her work, she hopes to keep the silversmithing tradition alive for future generations.
Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver with dyed black onyx beads, this necklace features a rolo chain, a combination finish, and a lobster claw clasp. The necklace is 19.3 inches in length and the pendant measures 1.9 inches in height by 3.1 inches in width.
