These 'Elegant Cones' earrings by Independent Artisans are a sophisticated and unique accessory that combines natural wood with shining silver. Designed by Rupadana, each dangle earring features a cone-shaped piece of dark sono wood, accented with polished sterling silver. The contrast between the rich, dark wood and the gleaming silver creates a modern yet earthy vibe. This piece reflects the artisan's ability to blend Balinese motifs with contemporary fashion trends.
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 in 925 sterling silver with sono wood, these hook earrings have a high-polish finish and measure 3.1 inches in length by 0.4 inches in diameter.
