This 'Iridescent Goldfish' goldfish necklace by Independent Artisans is an elegant and iridescent accessory. Designed by Rosalia Tarigan, this sterling silver necklace features a Mabe pearl as the body of a fish. The combination finish adds a lovely texture. This piece is a way to revive the local silver workshop tradition.
In the early 2000s, a business trip to East Java introduced this designer to a fading tradition: local silver workshops that had once thrived but were now closing. Determined to revive the craft, she partnered with Ibu Indun, a widowed silversmith, to restore an old workshop. Together with her sister and extended family members, they rebuilt production using traditional tools and techniques while blending modern design elements. She oversees design, marketing, and office work, while Ibu Indun leads the craftsmanship. Their collections combine silver’s timeless beauty with pearls and gemstones sourced from Bali, where partner artisans assist in gem-setting and finishing. Though the journey began with door-to-door sales, government sponsorships soon opened doors to national and international exhibitions. Today, the workshop sustains families in East Java, with each design celebrating resilience, collaboration, and the enduring soul of silver jewelry.
Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver with natural cultured Mabe pearl, this necklace has a combination finish and lobster claw clasp, and measures 17.8 inches in length.
