These 'Bulan Hoops' dangle earrings by Independent Artisans are an exquisite pair of earrings with a classic look. Designed by Ni Wayan Astiti, these earrings feature sterling silver hoops and six luminous freshwater pearls, trickling down in a repeating pattern. The artist calls this pair "moon hoops" in Indonesian. This piece embodies Balinese culture and timeless beauty, reflecting a family legacy that blends faith, dedication, and artistry.
Born into a renowned family of gold artisans in Bali, this jewelry designer represents the fourth of seven children in a lineage steeped in ceremonial craft. Her village is celebrated as a center for gold jewelry, and in 2009 her parents were honored as “The Master’s Hands” by The Jakarta Post for their mastery. From childhood, she was encouraged with patience and support, even through mistakes, as she learned to craft gold rings, earrings, and temple ornaments used in Hindu ceremonies. Today, she collaborates with ten silversmiths, including her husband, who helps bring her designs to life. Inspired by tradition yet shaped by her own perseverance, she continues to create jewelry that embodies Balinese culture and timeless beauty. Now a mother of three, she hopes her children will inherit her passion, carrying forward a family legacy that blends faith, dedication, and artistry.
Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver with natural cultured freshwater pearls, these hook earrings have a high-polish finish and measure 2.1 inches in length by 0.5 inches in width.
