This 'Smiling Barong' cuff bracelet by Independent Artisans is a fantastic and mythological accessory. Designed by Nyoman Rena, this sterling silver cuff bracelet is handcrafted to depict the smiling face of Barong, a mythological lion creature believed to protect others from bad spirits. The combination finish adds a beautiful texture and depth to the intricate details. This piece captures both Balinese heritage and a distinctive contemporary design.
Born in Bali, Rena is a third-generation artisan who grew up immersed in traditional craftsmanship. Encouraged by his grandfather, an architect and master carver, he began woodcarving in elementary school before turning to silver jewelry under the guidance of a local silversmith. By blending his carving skills with metalwork, Rena developed a distinctive style that captures both Balinese heritage and contemporary design. At 25, he established his own workshop, which now supports a team of 12 artisans whose skills he carefully nurtures and organizes. His wife also contributes to the business, while their two children inspire his dedication to growth and innovation. Rena’s jewelry is handcrafted using traditional tools such as hammers, stoves, and chisels, with designs often born from his imagination and attuned to modern fashion trends. From humble beginnings, he has built a thriving workshop and continues to expand his collections, sharing Bali’s artistry with the world.
Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver, this cuff bracelet features a combination finish. It measures 5.5 inches from end to end and is 0.7 inches wide.
